    I have a wordpress blog installed in a sub-directory of my site and would like to display and integrate some of the blog content into my homepage. Is this possible? I would appreciate any insight. Thanks..

    You could create a widget at widgetbox.com then add it to your homepage. It's simple.

    ...or a simple RSS reader that will display headlines and a snippet of your posts.

    What is the best method SEO wise? I want the content that is being displayed on the home page to be spiderable as well. The widget approach doesn't seem to provide any SEO type benefit...

    The best way would be to have WordPress run the entire site as a content management system.

    I agree wordpress is a good CMS, used with the right theme. Use wordpress and be sure to backup the database regularly.

    I third this notion the abilties of Wordpress are endless, and it is so easy to customize even for novice users.
