Well, I’m as lazy (but challenge-loving) as ever so I’ve decided to try and make the site updates listing into a WordPress category without separating them from the main site or greatly changing the layout. If you see this on the main page of my site, then I was successful.

*Sigh*, PHP seems to actively fight being embedded into any other kind of active scripting. Whenever I do so, it just spits out the source code of whatever called it and when I use SSI, it spits out gibberish that is probably compiled Apache source code.
I’ve got a workaround but since it’s almost as server-intensive as using two pages and an <iframe> tag, I’ll wait and see what my hosting provider can do about it first.
The workaround is now in place but, since the workaround script and WordPress are running on the same computer and I’m using a specially trimmed version of index.php, it’s less resource-consumptive than <iframe>.
