    Hmm, i used bblog too and i installed into my htdocs root.
    And i used the clean-url .htaccess of bblog. So the url looks like http://www.netzwech.de/item/42
    How can i rewrite it to my wordpress installation? Your example doesnt work :-(
    Any hints?

    Check out the default .htaccess rules that ship with wordpress. Modifying one could solve your problem, assuming the WP and bblog post_ids were the same:

    RewriteRule ^item/([0-9]+)?/?$ /wp/index.php?p=$1

    I've verified that this works--hope it helps.

    Speaking of syndication, I haven't been able to find any good way to syndicate sites using WordPress. Any ideas?

    Hey JWK--Wordpress publishes an RSS feed to http:// your-wordpress-site . com / wordpress-directory / feed / which you can use to syndicate the site. Most themes and templates also have an RSS link somewhere...

    That's the easy part, Elliott.

    I mean, incorporating an RSS feed from another blog into a header-style section like your "Today's Links"

    I'll look around some more, I think. I've written an RSS parser in PHP for Audioscrobbler and somewhat integrated it into Wordpress, I could probably roll my own plugin if I had to.

    Excellent - thanks for this info! I've spent the last half hour trying to figure out how to redirect from the root and failed miserably - this works great
