Currently my pixelpost is installed under the file path (www.domain.com/pixelpost). Is it possible to configure pixelpost so that my visitors can simply enter www.domain.com and have them directed to the subdirectory /pixelpost, without having me to move all the pixelpost files and directory to the root folder?

you can create an index.html in the root with a Meta refresh to pixelpost/index.php
or you try it with mod_rewrite in an .htaccess

Thanks for the help, but would you mind explaining in more details, or perhaps give me an example, as to how to use mod_rewrite in .htacess? I'm a little new at this!
Also, if I use mod_rewrite, would I run into the Meta-refresh problem whereas the user would have trouble using the browser's "back" button if I set the refresh time too short?

Here is a very simple page explaining how to use the meta-redirect tag:

Just unpack and upload Pixelpost to main dir not to /pixelpost and it should solve your problem without any additional actions. If now it works then you can try to move content of /pixelpost one level up.
