   Hello,
   I have a static XHTML site into which I have plugged in a WordPress news blog. I have left all of the .html files intact, added a 'news' folder with wordpress in it, and just added another page in the root directory with mostly the same XHTML code, except it has a .php suffix.
   At the beginning this page has:

   <?php
   // Include WordPress
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('./news/wp-load.php');
   query_posts('showposts=3');
   ?>

   and somewhere in the body it has the loop:

   <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>    
   
   <?php the_title('<h2 class="entry-title"><a title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>'); ?>
   
   <div class="entry-content">
   	<?php the_content(__('Continue reading', 'example')); ?>
   	<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p class="pages">' . __('Pages:','example') . '&after=</p>'); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   	<p class="no-posts"><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria', 'example'); ?></p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   All this works well, the latest 3 posts just appear (and they are automatically styled by the same CSS file as the rest of the site, which I really like). However, older posts drop off, because of that line at the beginning of the page. So I'd like to be able to have a link to older posts, with that page being dynamically created. This here doesn't seem to work, it always points to a page inside the wordpress directory:

   <?php posts_nav_link('sep', 'pre', 'next') ?>

   So instead of
   http://localhost:8888/news.php/page/2 (or something like that)
   it points to:
   http://localhost:8888/news/news.php/page/2

   I've tried editing the Permalinks, but without effect.

   Let me answer that myself.

   It was a bad idea to remove the .php page from the wordpress directory. I've moved it into there and now the 2nd/3rd and so on pages work. (All the static html pages are still in the root dir, which is fine)

   Also, the bit at the top needs to say:

   <?php
   // Include WordPress
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   oops. Then of course there's this here, which answers my question and makes the initial idea possible:
