Pretty much yeah it's a good idea to post the actual URL because the one you gave points to a forum.

www.odddaily.com it said i needed to install at a directory so the main blog is at www.odddaily.com/od

Okay so if you want your blog to be reachable from the top level domain URL then you probably should just install it at the top level. In other words, move everything in /od/ up to your server root. In your /conf/_basic_config.php file make sure your $baseurl is your domain name root - no /od at the end, just a single slash.
