static file = ? is that same as stub?

A static file is not the same as a stub file. You can generate a static file (html) in the backoffice and tell .htaccess to use the .html rather than the _main.php. This gives a time advantage when the .php file needs to generate a lot of items.

Rename froudblog.php (the stub file) to Account_Scandal.php. Put this stub in the http://www.executivefraud.com directory (probably something like the www folder on your server) and tell the blog you are using another stub file (in the backoffice go to Blogsettings)

Good luck

I think I'm getting what you are saying to some degree but then how do you manage all the different stub files.....fraudblog.php is my main one....then i want fraudblog/category_name
each category will have several different articles name_article_etc

Where do I need to change things so that the categories don't come up...

fraudblog.php?cat=35

OK, I didn't read properly: you want the fraudblog in between. That's possible: move all your stubfiles to the subdirectory /fraudblog and next tell the backoffice where you have put them.

Dumb question....how do you tell the backoffice to go to the stub instead of the category? I realize how to do it for the main stub but when you get to having a bunch, I'm a little lost

No the stub is 'just' a php file that is called by your browser. The php file directs the viewer to the correct blog (and or category).

I've been working with this for awhile now and am still having trouble....I have reduced the problem to an annoying yet possible fix of taking the category Accounting Scandal at:
http://www.executivefraud.com/Fraud_Blog.php?cat=35
and created a stub called
http://www.executivefraud.com/_Accounting_Scandal.php
Now both are working but I want when someone clicks on the category for it to go to the stub. How do I do that? I've tried redirects using .htaccess and have not had any luck.
