Wordpress blog and domain name

I have a WP blog that I installed in the /root directory by mistake instead of the public_html directory in the database.
My main website is propixelphotography.com and the blog is blog.propixelphotography.com
Will it benefit me to switch the blog database to the public_html folder and rename the directory to propixelphotography.com/blog instead if the current one I have? How dificult will that be?

My main site is built around flash so it really sucks for SEO. But my blog has some content and links that should be enough for me to get some visibility in my area when doing a search. But I don't. I rarely see my blog pop within a search. The one that comes out is my main propixelphotography.com and it's because the splash page is built around html (and some JS).

As you can see, I'm a photographer and not an SEO expert so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I do a ton of WordPress.

Things to consider.

/blog will be part of your primary domain
blog.yoursite.com is a sub directory and will essentially be treated as an entirely separate website by search engines.

I'm not sure I clearly understand what you are saying in reference to installation. But it seems if you are using a cPanel host you can simply drag your installation to the appropriate public_html folder level.

The database location doesn't matter unless it were actually crawled by search engines. What matters is the content they crawl.

Again I'm not 100% certain what you have done. But in the worst case you can always create a new datebase and reinstall... it's not very time consuming.

Keep in mind if you move your blog using cPanel you may have to updates some URL references. I've always had bad luck with images breaking inside of WordPress when I move from level to level.

What you don't want to have happen is to create different URL's resolving to the same location.

Do a search on canonicalization and you'll know what I mean.

So what would be better as far as SEO goes? The blog.propixelphotography.com as I have it now or the propixelphotography.com/blog?

I wasn't sure if placing the wordpress folder in the /root directory instead of the public_html folder was a bad thing or not. And yes, I do use a cPanel.

As a photographer using flash sites is really bad but I decided to go that route at first because it can look more pleasing to the customer. That's why I decided to create a blog so I could get some content in there as well as more photos with the alt tags. The thing is that for some reason, most of the search engines are not picking it up when doing searches. I've submitted 146 URL's but only 119 of those have been indexed by Google and most of them are old posts and the pages within the blog.

In contrast, my main site is based on a flash template but the splash page is html with some JS. That one gets picked up in searches more than my blog even though there's a lot less content.

I tried to do the RSS feed to HTML using the feedforall script but I don't know where to put the script. I do have one right now but it's all JavaScript and therefor not getting crawled by spiders.
