* hi all,
some of my clients have an HTML Website and then they want me to make
a wp site for them. using a wp an a subdomain is a headache, I have tried this
and since wp saves relative paths, one has to do a lot of work making it all
run well. using the maintenance plugin or something similar is just giving me
a landing page, but how can I work on the same domain and hide the wp install
while the html site still visible? any ideas? thanks!!! nili

* Install WP in a sub-folder. Then see [Allow WordPress to take over the root domain](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install).
