Default Domain re-naming or sub-domain?

Hi guys,
Just wondering - I have a domain filmandgamecomposers.com/blog - I want it so that when someone goes to filmandgamecomposers.com it goes to the /blog, but doesnt show up as that, just as the normal domain without the /blog.

Is there a way of doing this?
I think its called a domain rewrite is it?


Cheers,
Emmett

it's called 301 redirect, can be done a few ways. .htaccess , header redirect.

hmm would it work if I just uninstalled wordpress, and then reinstalled it in the root directory - I didnt think you could install it in the root directory though - would that be possible?

And also keep in mind that you might lose any files so be careful in doing that...

I would recommend that, would help with SEO as well, most search engines don't like 301 redirects as much.
