 * Hello crowd!
 * I am totally new to using WordPress, not a PHP newb, though.
 * The challenge:
 * A friend has asked me to include WordPress as a means of adding/updating certain
   content into his own project.
 * What I would like to do now is just fetch pure DB data from some WP interface,
   ideally just a plain PHP array of object, and work with it however the existening
   application prefers.
 * Example:
    I just include a couple of WP files and fetch an array with all the
   data I need, bypassing the entire template functionality WP offers.
 * What is basically needed, are a couple of blog categories, maybe a bit of archiving,
   and a means of displaying individual entries on a single page.
 * Are there more appropriate ways than just getting them myself from the database?
   I don’t want to miss out on the RSS / archiving etc. features.
 * Thx for any help!

 * Actually, (based on your post) you need: archives, index, single post view, rss…
   
   That sounds like a full WP install 🙂
 * But anyway, you can use the Loop for posts and all the template tags.
