Via Photo Matt: Simpler integration with WordPress

bbPress is the software used to power the WordPress support forums, and has been available as an alpha release for some time now. However, until recently it’s been a bit of a pain in the backside to integrate with the blogging software, even though the intention of the bbPress developers seems to be for the two products to work together (though naturally there’s no obligation to run WordPress just because you have a bbPress installation and vice versa). Thankfully that problem is gradually being resolved, and it appears that the two products are much easier to integrate than the last time I tried installing bbPress. If I get a few spare minutes this weekend (though this is unlikely looking at my current workload!), I’ll see if I can throw together a test blog/forum combination to see if it really is that easy.
