Sorry, wasn't sure where to put this.

I've just created my first WordPress site.

Whenever I try and go to my site it looks like this:

However, when I got to mydomainname.com/wp then it takes me to my site.

Can somebody please let me know what i have done wrong. Thanks :)
 
You installed the wordpress in subfolder instead of root.
 
Un-install it, then install it again but do not put it into the subfolder. Just leave it install on the domain itself (i.e: domain.com).
 
If you still have no idea what you're doing from taking everyone's advice from the posts above. Just contact your hosting and they'll fix it for you

Yeah, so i set up a subdomain and installed WordPress into that. I'm following the auto-blogger guide from this site.


That's what it tells you to do. Should I have installed WordPress onto my main domain to begin with?

Yes. As stated above, if you have a good host, they will fix it for you.
 
Try this with your auto installer.
Code:
To install wordpress in a subdomain just follow the following steps.1. Create a subdomain in the cPanel, lets suppose it to be "blog.mysite . com"2. Goto Fantastico and select WordPress from the available list of Packages available under "Blogs section".3. Click on "New Installation"4. In the "Install on domain" option you'll find a list of available domains and subdomains, select the one where you want to install the WordPress. Here in our case, "blog.mysite . com"5. Next Complete the required information and your Worpress will be installed in the subdomain automatically by Fantastico.6. Pre-check all the info before hitting the submit button.7. after completion you can view the WordPress blog at "blog.mysite . com"
 
For some strange reason with the host I use, whenever I use the auto installer it installs wordpress into a wp folder by default.

Delete the wp in the box indicated to install in the root directory (You should find similar or the same when you try to auto install wordpress with your host)
 
Just go to your Cpanel, click on file manager -> open wp -> select all -> move all to public_html
