Noob question.

I would like to use Wordpress such that a single installation can support pages and blog posts at different URLs. I have a site built, and we want to use Wordpress for both marketing landing pages and blog pages. Examples:

Marketing "static pages" live at the root URL (and are set via Wordpress CMS as 'pages'):

  • ht_tp://website.com/faq
  • ht_tp://website.com/story
  • ht_tp://website.com/wizard-sauce

However, the blog lives at the blog URL:

  • ht_tp://website.com/blog/post-1 etc. etc.

Any clues on how to best accomplish? Thanks y'all.

This is very simple and can be accomplished all through the admin interface.

First, create pages named Home and Blog under Pages.

Then go to Settings > Reading, and under Front page displays, set Front page to your Home page, and Posts page to your Blog page.

Next, under Settings > Permalinks, Select Custom Structure and enter /blog/%postname%/.

If you also want category and tag permalinks to contain blog, you can set those to blog/category and blog/tag.

If I wanted to use multiple sites under my own Wordpress installation I would use the multisite features of Wordpress. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

    I would definitely recommend against using multisite for something so simple.
