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?
