Off-and-on for the past several weeks I’ve been working on a freelance WordPress plugin for the Market Theme, a premium WordPress theme that converts your site into an online store. The release of the plugin coincides with the release of Market 3, a brand new version that lets the user have both a dedicated blog and a store in one.
The theme is top notch. It makes selling both digital goods and mailed good extremely simple. So what was my role?

This means that rather then having your new blog article’s URL look like “http://myblog.com/?p=78″, you make it look like this: “http://myblog.com/articles/my-article-title.” This feature means WordPress interprets the URL query of your blog and outputs the corresponding article.
This is great for readability and SEO, but what if you want to add a non-WordPress subfolder to your website with, say, a forum in it?
