 * I’m working on a site which uses posts (not pages) for content. Here’s what I
   want to do.
 * 1) All “blog” posts can go in the “blog” category. Anything in the blog category
   has the standard weblog permalink (example.com/2005/04/03/post-name-here/).
 * 2) All posts in other categories have a permalink that represents its category(
   and sub-categories) better, more like Pages (example.com/writing/non-fiction/
   final-fantasy-guide/).
 * 3) Each category will have a different look and feel, almost like a different
   theme. (I realise that this can be easily done with a separate WordPress installation
   for each theme, but would prefer to have only one, so as to make upgrading easier
   later.)
 * I would like to know, can this be done?

 * WordPress would be ignorant of one or the other permalink structure (that is,
   there is currently no way to configure multiple structures in the same installation).
   So for 1 and 2 it *may* be possible to set this up, but would have to be done
   manually with a combination of personally constructed .htaccess rewrite rules(
   for the structure not configured in WP), and any custom PHP scripting required
   to properly generates the links.
 * For 3, I’d start with the Codex info on category templates:
