I needed to setup category selection from another database, and basically found that installing the WP tables into the same database as the existing database was the easiest solution. I could then use the existing WP mysql API to gain access to my existing data too. Then it was a matter of building in the functions into wordpress.
Do you have an example post anywhere?
Makes sense, I see what you’re saying. One more question: If you’re defining a class in your post for the size of the image, how is it being changed once you’re reading the entire article instead of just viewing the home page ‘teaser’?
Seems like an interesting idea… I’d like to try it – would you mind sharing the CSS? or a link?
