@ Natasha – Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Sure, you can have the blog and your site pages in the root directory of your site. But since you’d have to do all the work of matching the designs, it makes sense to just have the whole thing be a blog and use the page capability in WordPress. At least… that makes sense to me.

Isn’t a fourth solution to have your blog pages in the same directory as your static site pages and make the whole thing seamless?

As I consider to continue using a now defunct desktop blogging software (Easy Blogs (http://www.easyblogs.com), one of the benefits I see is having the site be all in “one piece.”

Oh dear, am I on my way to your 25 reasons biz blogs suck list?

Thanks for the good content. Between Gateway and this site, you’ve got a good funnel going!
