Or if this epidemic is cured by DivaVocals then VocalBox
You are VERY funny!!! I'm happy now.. After a little over two years, I now have a FUNCTIONAL (non quirky) blog embedding solution and a direction for how to add matching sideboxes to the mix. Still tweaking stuff, and I'm gonna post some follow-up thoughts on the CSS and styling aspects of using the Numinix embedding solution..

I am seeking FULL flexibility for WordPress/Zen Cart solutions.. I think it's important. Along the way I've changed my views on embedded blogs. I can see their usefulness on many fronts. I don't think there is a BEST option only one that works best on a site by site basis.. Besides like I posted a day or two back, I don't want to tell a client they can't have something (like an embedded blog) simply because I think it's unimportant or because I don't know how to do it..

  • Separate blog with Zen Cart sideboxes
  • Separate blog with Zen Cart sideboxes and an RSS feed on the home page (or another Zen Cart page)
  • Embedded blog with Zen Cart sideboxes
  • Embedded blog with Zen Cart sideboxes and an RSS feed on the home page (or another Zen Cart page)

I wanted something that doesn't have any quirkiness that I must "workaround". (Like sideboxes that can only be positioned on the lefthand side or incompatibilities with SEO modules) Like I said.. WOZ is a nice idea, but it has always been problematic from the day I started messing with it.. (and based on this thread, I'm not alone..)
