    I have downloaded and installed wordpress in a sub directory, but I am wanting people to be able to type in my web address as in: http://default.com and it go to the site, instead of http://default.com/site where the blog is stored.

    Anyway to get around this?

    You can redirect using many ways but not through wordpress.. but I dont know how useful or beneficial would it be in terms of SEO with such first page redirects .. if you still want to redirect just search in google and you will find many ways of redirecting including htaccess

    Ok one more question, how can I move my wordpress folders to the root directory and out of the folder /site and have everything work correctly. I have read some on moving wordpress but got confused as to what I need to do.

    If I do that, I will just change my permalinks to /site/?cat=blah
