 * Three options I can think of off-hand:
 * 1. Have your friend set up a page to include the blog page (from your site) within
   a HTML frame.
 * 2. Have your friend set up a RSS feed aggregator (though that would only allow
   him to grab and display post contents).
 * 3. Convince your friend to get a better host.

 * Kafkaesqui well mate,
 * Please let me the method of how to nest the blog stuff inside the html? the friends
   server supports php? If i edit the wp-config’s stuff to point to my MySQL server
   in my domain will i be able to accomplish… Basically what i need is to run the
   blog at my friends server while the SQL server is running on my server.

 * “Basically what i need is to run the blog at my friends server while the SQL 
   server is running on my server.”
 * The MySQL server would need to be accessable remotely (i.e. from your friend’s
   host). Not many hosts would provide this due to security issues, but it never
   hurts to ask.

 * Cant’s i just edit the wp-config settings? change the localhost into something
   else.. so it will point to SQL server in my server?

 * Yes, that should work fine.

 * @ jana
    You can try to change the wp-config but there is chance of 99.9% that
   SQL server of your provider is configured to allow connection only by machine
   inside it’s network and it won’t allow connection form external IP.
