laughingsquid and WordPress

    Here is probably the most basis of questions. I am using laughingsquid as my webhost and I want my blog to appear whenever anyone types in the main URL (Ex., mysite.com rather than mysite.com/blog). I have read the tutorial about how to do this and I have to say I am dumbfounded. I am guessing the root directory for laughingsquid is the httpdocs folder. I move the index.php file out of the blog folder (located within the httpdocs folder) into the httpdocs folder. Additionally I have no idea what an .htaccess file is and I cant find any file with that name (because the instructions say to move the index.php and the .htaccess files into the root directory (which like I said I think I am doing). Could you tell me what I am doing wrong…and feel free to call me a complete idiot in the process. Thanks

    Assuming wordpress is in folder called ‘http/blog’

    Delete the /blog from the end of your Blog Address (URL) in Options->General.

    Put this index.php in your httpdocs (your web-root) folder

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    This particular setup is described at: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    It is possible you have no .htaccess file.
