   I've got a website built of static HTML pages that I'm going switch over to WordPress as a CMS. I want to install WordPress, get all the content moved over, then flip the switch to change over.

   My understanding is this: I can install WordPress in the topmost directory and it will remain invisible, because the existing index.html trumps index.php. Then, when I want the WordPress version to go live, I just need to deleted index.html, and ta-dah!

   Any problems with doing it that way?

   No. You can always append index.php to your domain to take a look at the WP "front page" when you need to or just develop it offline on your hard drive. (I use Yellowtip for this, it's great and easy to install.) :)
