anyone know how to change this?

I've tried googling it but I can't figure out how to "phrase" it to google, lol.

try

Install WordPress in a subdirectory, such as /2012. In your root folder (not the subdirectory folder), download and open your .htaccess file. Add the following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?YourDomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

In the above code, change the "YourDomain.com" value to your root domain. In the above code, change the "blog" value to the subdirectory. Save and upload the .htacess file back to your root directory.
