"The length of folder is between 3 and 16." the site is www.watsonqualityblog.com I don't want it to be www.watsonqualityblog.com/blog or anything redundant like that. Should I just manually install wordpress myself? It's not difficult, but it's just faster to press a button without having to download, FTP upload, figure out the DB info, go through the few steps, and then be finished.

Our auto-installations do not allow WordPress to be installed into the root. You can either Install it manually as you suggested Install it using http://vanity.netsolhost.com/blog, point your domain to that folder, and correct all of the internal WordPress settings.
