Blogging Transfer Help

    I set up a WP blog in my root directory. Everything worked fine. Then I needed to move the blog to the /blog directory. I transferred everything into that directory. When I try to pull it up, it loads, but the actual posts don't load. It shows a 404 error where the posts should be. Everything in the side bars and the them and all loads fine. Also, when I click "home," it tries to go back to the root directory to find the blog.

    I'm assuming there are some files or something that I need to update to point to the new dir? If anyone could assist me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Sorry I'm a WP newb. I have the wp-config file open, but I don't see anything that I can change that would affect this. Is there something I actually need to add since it's not in the root anymore? Thanks.

    The site location is stored (and needs to be edited) in the database, in the "wp_options" table. Search for the records that have option_name="siteurl" and option_name="home" and edit the option_value field for both of these records.
