You gots to warn people about that in the old RSS file, the one we subscribe too, before you switch or else we might forget about you. Also, this new comment textarea doesn't wrap long lines. Me like wrappy. Your RSS path changed too. You gots to warn people about that in the old RSS file, the one

It seems that can implement a page.php template that will be called when a "page" entry is called. You could make that template completely bare and basically construct your whole html in wordpress that way you have a generic template that can be used for "static" pages. Not sure if there is a page.php per category (which would be shame becaue I can see wanting static pages to look different in different areas of the site.) hmmm following up my own comment.

I was going to suggest the index.html trick. I use that alot for temporary homepage overrides on the Lavajet site. Otherwise There is a way to setup mod_rewrite so it will only rewrite if the file doesn't exist so basically as long as you have a file that exists it won't run it through index.php (you want to rewrite through index.php for the clean URLs anyway). Let me see if I can dig the if file exists conditionals for mod_rewrite. I would think you would be able to keep your homepage as index.php by using the theme system, since one of teh big advantages that 1.5 added in that everything no longer has to run through index.php (one of the reasons I went with Textpattern at the time was the sections implementation it has). Here is the wiki on theme development http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development which might help with tackling that. Heh I get to be the first WP comment.
