Just make sure to do your blog in wordpress, and then make sure you use a theme that is well suited to work as content management for a website. Then, you can tell word press which "page" to post your blog entries to and you can have normal pages just like a normal website right along side your blog. I use thematic for the sites I build and it works great. I would put the blog under you main domain.

It's easy to get wrapped up in what you're doing at the moment and wind up leaving the future to itself. I have done both, subs and roots because the websites were used for different purposes and have found some success each way. The nice thing about most blogging platforms is you can back them up, tear them down and re-launch them without too much inconvenience. Take a peek at what the competition is doing in your niche(s) and if you find a pattern in the successful blogs, try the same with yours. Good luck Chris!

So my homepage (once my theme is uploaded and activated) will look like a regular business website and the blog section will have lots of articles that will hopefully boost traffic. Long live wordpress as a CMS! My solution is excactly what you pointed out Daniel “you could create a small section in the homepage to display the latest posts from the blog”.

I you keep this as personal, it would be much nicer rather than converting it into company root website I think it depends on your strategies.
