   I'd like to use WordPress so that my Pages are visible in the root but my Posts are located in a sub-directory.

   i.e.

   http://www.mysite.com
   http://www.mysite.com/blog/ or http://blog.mysite.com

   I was following this article:
   

   Which seems straight forward - but when I access http://www.mysite.com/blog/?page_id=4 I get a 403

   I gather its because the wordpress files aren't in that directory. Do I need to copy all the files into the blog directory as well? Are there any administration concerns?

   Thanks in advance!

   Ah to answer my own question - I copied all the files into the blog directory except the wp-admin folder and it seems to be displaying the right content in the right places.

   I'm planning on building a custom theme from the ground up - so I guess if I want it consistent then I can just copy the theme folder over to the blog - and upon further contemplation - it may be beneficial to alter the blog theme a bit from the main site.

   Try setting up permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/. Then use a hard link in your navigation. So http://www.mysite.com/blog will display everything in the category 'blog' using archive.php.
