WordPress should automatically handle 301 redirects, because of its new ‘canonical URL’ feature.

I’ve considered doing this for some time. Problem is, I don’t want to break any links. At some point, I’ll write something to do automatic 301 redirects, but don’t think that will get done any time soon.

While you’re at it, d’you think you could remove ‘wordpress’ from your URL?

It’s very easy to do. Just copy WordPress’ index.php file into your document root, and modify where it calls:

./wp-blog-header.php

to:

./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php

Then, in wp-config.php, add the following:

define ('WP_HOME', 'http://www.bieberlabs.com');
define ('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.bieberlabs.com/wordpress');

That should only work on WordPress 2.3. Also, the URLs should be automagically redirected.
