The above method will work fine. Alternatively you can use a wordpress plugin - I think there is one called easy SSL or simple SSL or something. Just go into plugins > add new > then search for easy SSL.

Indeed. Simple SSL is the one. Super easy, though on a few of occasions (under 10%) it's caused slow-down issues with a couple of my sites, so I've removed and done manually. There's also an option in the plugin to rewrite the htaccess file - as detailed in the previous answer - for you, so if you're not confident of touching it, the plugin will sort you out.
