 * Hey,
    How’s WordPress going to tie into an existing b2 site? Will I have to do
   much else than merely replace the .php files, or will I have to port the database
   somehow? And if so, what’s the hazzle level?

 * Basically what you should do is delete all your b2 files and then upload the 
   WordPress ones. Since a lot of stuff has moved over-writing will most likely 
   cause you troubles. Once that’s done, in the wp-admin directory there’s a file
   called b2-2-wp.php. Run that and you’ll be ready to roll. I just did it myself,
   total time: 3 minutes, including the upload time.
