I appologise if this has been asked already. I have successfully installed the PHP, MySQL, and Wordpress add-ins and everything is working fine and I am ready to begin designing my site. However I would like my domain name, which is directed to my IP address, to resolve directly to the wordpress installation. Currently when I browse the site the URL path in the browser ends up as http://www.mydomain.com/blog/index.php. I would like it to just show up as http://www.mydomain.com/index.php. I am unfamiliar with iis and with wordpress and cannot seem to figure out how to do it myself. Can anyone here suggest a way for this to be done correctly?

Thanks for the great add-ins,

Chris

Easiest way to do this without messing up the WHS websites would be to add an entry to c:\inetpub\home\websites.xml as

Code:
  <WebSite name="Blog" uri="javascript:window.location='http://'+location.hostname+'/blog'" imageUrl="/blog/wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-icon.png" absolute="true" />


Save that then open the console and open Settings, Remote Access and then under Web Site Settings, change it to Blog and then change the Web Site Headline to match your blog name if you wish.
