 * So, I have been using WP as a cms platform for awhile now but, there is one nagging
   problem that I can’t see a solution to.
 * If I want to have the “normal” part of the website that feels like a website 
   and then a “blog” section of the website it doesn’t work. Because the posts are
   pulled from the index.php, the styling of the homepage will apply to the blog
   which is not what I want.
 * So, the question is, how do you have a website with one WP db that has two different
   looks – one for the website and one for the blog?

 * use category templates and seperate your blog/web content into different categories
 * or
 * use page templates, create your website content using pages and assign the page
   templates to them
 * all just a matter of some visual trickery to achieve what you want
