There's already some solid wordpress bridges out there for joomla. Personally I don't see the point of bridging them. There are some good blogging options now for Joomla if you need the power of joomla but want blogging. If you are solely focusing on blogging, then wordpress is a better option than joomla imho. I just don't get why you would run both at the same time.
This may just be lack of knowlage on my part (quite new to wordpress). As an example I have a J!, phpbb3, jomsocial affinity website. I am looking to run a blog for certain people involved with the website to communicate with outside world, on topics relevent to the site.
I was envisioning certain elements of blog content being published in the frontpage of the site when fresh, pingbacks, and dedicated pages of the site for people to subscribe to given blogs, and everything to be searchable along with news and joomla content. Oh and I was also hoping to send out tweets automatically when new blog entries were created!
Is there a joomla componant I can utilise that would do the job better than a skinned wordpress, that wouldnt leave current wordpress bloggers feeling feature starved ??
Currently trying to persuade the following to play nicely;

Thanks Andy. Actually I do very little blogging as such - almost exclusively Joomla/PHPBB3 and most recently membership-centric sites.
But that said there have been times when I wanted to add a blog section and the bridges I have seen haven't been up to it, notwithstanding the design compatibility issues.
I would much prefer to blog in Joomla if I need to.
Best wishes on the WP Theme Club anyway - all those new members from the WP World can only add to the already immense power of RT generally, and there will be plenty who move to Joomla no doubt.
