Thanks jonradio
Thanks for your reply. I was worried that I would have a problem. Any problem with search engines finding pages because of that. Your faking out the person seeing the location bar into thinking its all in the root directory, is google seeing it that way? and if a person types in the address bar the page address he thinks it is, will it go to that page, even thought its in a separate directory?
Would it be better to just get another domain, build the Wordpress site on that domain and then transfer my domain name to that new site. There cheep now, my host 1and1 is 99 cents a month for the first year.
Sorry for all the questions, just don't want to have any unexpected problems after all that work.
