You can’t embed WordPress into a page, I read here. That’s kind of a bummer, especially when modularity of code is what most of us want, I would think. I’m thinking of the Lego brick metaphor… Google got it right (again) with their new Web Elements. They even handed out Legos at the Google IO conference.

I think it’s interesting to see what kind of metaphors I was using to describe what I wanted from WP five months ago, when I was first getting introduced to it. I suppose it would be nice to be able to embed WP into an existing page… maybe it is actually possible with RSS or XML-RPC…
