Well, I played with mod_rewrite for a good couple of hours, but it simply refuses to work (loads up fine, seems to find .htaccess, does not rewrite anything). I share my host with a couple of friends, so I haven’t done major surgery yet, but I may get it to.

Regarding the index.php as part of the url option, I was going to try that, but the rewrite url’s are prettier. Do you know if there are any search engine implications with the index.php option? That is, I seem to recall something about search engines not indexing dynamic pages well. Is there any truth to that, and if so, does the index.php case count as a dynamic page as far as search engines (Yahoo, Google) know, or does it treat it as static?

Thanks for the pointers to the other options; they seem to be very related to what I’m looking for, so I’ll take a look and report back what I find. On the other hand, if mod_rewrite starts working, I’m almost where I want to be.

I’m running into a non-technical issue though; as a matter of style, it seems most blog entries are short and not necessarily very subtantive. I like to hear myself talk, so my posts tend to be longer, and possibly not blog-like. I have to figure out what belongs in a blog and what doesn’t. On the other hand, my goal of having my blog software/wiki act as the content management/publishing platform for my whole site seems to be coming together.
