Using WordPress in multiple directories (5 posts)

    I have a website at example.com. I have a WP installation at example.com/blog/. I want to keep the blog part of the site at example.com/blog/ and have the static pages display in the root (i.e., example.com/about-me/ or example.com/about/blog/).

    Any and all help is appreciated!

    Could use the static front page options in Administration > Settings > Reading

    Maybe I should clarify. I want to use one WordPress installation and want to have my own index.php homepage, with the WP pages appearing in the root directory and the blog posts appearing at example.com/blog/permalinkhere/etc/etc/.

    Could use two install to do that, but again, the static front page options will also do that with just one install.

    Install WordPress in a folder called wordpress, use the technique of Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory. Create a Page called Blog, create a Page called Home. Then in Settings->Reading make Blog be your Posts Page, make Front be your Front Page.

    @MichaelH: I'm already using two installations and it's driving me crazy going back and forth between the two. Heh. I also want things a bit better organized.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like that's pretty close to what I want but not quite it. I'll have to play around with it a bit.

    If anyone else has done something similar to what I need, could you give me some suggestions?
