 * Hi Guys
 * I thought id post here because im not sure on where to start with this problem.
   I have a website [http://www.websitename.com](http://www.websitename.com) it 
   doesnt go directly to wordpress website because its in folder. example [http://www.websitename.com/wordpress](http://www.websitename.com/wordpress).
 * I want to forward my domain name so it lands on [http://www.websitename.com/wordpress](http://www.websitename.com/wordpress)
   because I dont want to go moving or renaming the wordpress folder as It will 
   mess up some links etc.
 * Another thing is is there a way of “masking” or “hiding” the wordpress folder
   from the address bar view? I find a sites url looks so ugly if it were: [http://www.websitename.com/wordpress/about](http://www.websitename.com/wordpress/about).
   It would look better as [http://www.websitename.com/about](http://www.websitename.com/about)
   if you click that section. You get what im saying haha. I just wanted to make
   myself clear.
 * Any help would be really appreciated. 🙂
    Thanks Shana
