I was wondering if it is possible to host my WP site under one domain wordpress.blah.com and then publish to my site http://www.blah.com. These are all on the same servers and are all set up, but I am not sure if this is even possible as the WP interface doesn't mention this.
I know I can do a subdirectory under the www, but I would rather not do this. Is there a place to set the directory where the pages publish to?
Thanks.
wordpress.blah.com is NOT a domain, just a subdomain of blah.com
Yes, you can install WP in a subdomain.
You can install WP in a subdirectory (blah.com/wordpress) and make to be displayed at blah.com
Everything is in the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org

Thank you for the clarification, I simply mispoke. I should have separate sites (which I did in the title).
The document you referenced (which I did look up) specifically speaks to having the files in a subdirectory under a specific site which is exactly what I do not want to do.
I basically want to set up the WP files in a separate folder/site altogether from the master web blog root.
wordpress.blah.com - C:\inetpub\wordpress\
The wordpress files and admin pages would reside here.
http://www.blah.com - c:\inetpub\www\
The blog files once published would reside here.
The documentation you referenced have you modifying the index.php to drop to root and look "wp-blog-header.php", etc but they will be residing under a different URL and therefore not referencable as far as I know.
