I have app with 2 modules, default and admin, now I want to add blog. I don't know if it is a good idea to jump into implementing blog module, when there are wordpress and other well tested engines...it would be nice if blog will be integrated into existing app, use same sidebar, header, footer, entire design actually.
On the other hand, it looks easier to implement blog, then fixing a new wordpress theme and layouts.
Although it seems annoying to fix a wordpress theme, people that I talk with tend to want it. I am not a wordpress advocate or anything but I feel like I have to use it or I should say learn to use it with my ZF applications.
Have you gotten as far as figuring out a way to integrate it into a site without using a subdomain (for seo). I figure it will need some sort of url rewriting.
Please let me know if you get any further on this.
Saša, you might be interested in http://www.zendpress.org/ though there is no
code yet.

Thank you all, but after all my calculations, I think I'll go with implementing a simple blog module.
This will be actually a news agregator, so, simple paragraph with link to the source site will be good for the start. Maybe click counter and share or rating can be added later, but still, it's pretty simeple to implement.

This project might interest you. It should allow you to integrate an existing Wordpress database into your app. http://github.com/monzee/oopress/
I know that the models are less than pure (e.g. the transfer objects know about the mappers and a bit about the database structure). I did it to simplify the API when echoing the post data in the view. Anyway, please do check out the demo application as it's the only form of documentation right now.
