Login and go to the admin panel.

Then go to the ‘reading’ menu. Click the ‘permalink’ option. They will have a few choices for you or you can customize it.

I have already customize, but the /blog is still there, don’t get. Maybe it’s hardcoded?

So i’m assuming your blog is in WordPress. And what you want to do is make the blog load as http://visualdesignworkshop.com instead of http://visualdesignworkshop.com/blog.

Try the instructions here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress


Login to your blog.

Go to the Administration > Settings > General panel.

In the box for WordPress address (URI): change the address to the new location of

your main WordPress core files.

In the box for Site address (URL): change the address to the new location, which

should match the WordPress (your public site) address (URI).

Click Save Settings.

(Do not try to open/view your blog now!)

Move your WordPress core files to the new location. This includes the files found

within the original directory, such as http://example.com/wordpress, and all the

sub-directories, to the new location.

If you are using Permalinks, go to the Administration > Settings > Permalinks panel

and update your Permalink structure to your .htaccess file, which should be in the

same directory as the main index.php file.

Existing image/media links uploaded media will refer to the old folder and must be

updated with the new location. You can do this with the Velvet Blues Update URLs

plugin, or with a search and replace tool, or manually in your SQL database, by

following the instructions at Tamba2's Tutorial "Moving your weblog inside your PC".

You must also check and edit 'store uploads folder' under Settings > Media or all

your new uploads will continue to go into the old folder.

In some cases your permissions may have changed, depending on your ISP. Watch for

any files with "0000" permissions and change them back to "0644".

If your theme supports menus, links to your home page may still have the old

subdirectory embedded in them. Go to Appearance::Menus and update them.

Sometimes you would need to restart your server, otherwise your server may give out an error. (happens in MAMP software (Mac)).
