Cpanel directory question

    I have a question, maybe someone can help me out. I want to install wordpress on a domain. I've done this before and it was accessible on the web, however, I don't know if I did it the proper way.

    Below is my directory info and the Wordpress installation instructions.

    It appears that I just want to leave the field blank and the wp theme will be installed on the root directory. But I keep seeing that my files should be in public html so they be can accessed on the web. Is my public_html a category within my root directory and when the wp theme uploads to the root directory it is automatically available in the public_html?

    Any clarification would be much appreciated. Thanks.


    WWW Directory /home/username/public_html
    Root Directory /home/username

    Install on domain mydomain.com

    Install in directory blank field

    Leave empty to install in the root directory of the domain (access example: http://domain/).
    Enter only the directory name to install in a directory (for http://domain/name/ enter name only). This directory SHOULD NOT exist, it will be automatically created!
