Magento wordpress integration - magento

I'm using fishpig wp integration to magento.
I have blog.site.com and I want to keep this domain, while I'm using magento worpdress.
How can I Integrate an existing WordPress blog and keep the same URL's. So that my SEO will not be affected?
Is this possible?

Yes it's possible. You can integrate your existent wp blog in a new Magento store instance or integrate a new blog in an ancient store.
For integrate your wp blog in your Magento instance, you can declare blog.site.com as base_url (secure and|or insecure) in your magento store.
Before that you must check in your wp blog if these urls like : catalog, checkout, admin, api, etc.. it's not already used.
You can retrieve every routings parameters in app/{pool}/{namespace}/{module_name}/etc/config.xml in <frontend><routers><args<frontName> section
After that, you have just to dump your wp db datas in your magento db.
In my memories, I think it is possible to set up a prefix for the tables used by wp fishpig

I'm working on a non-magento e-commerce website, created with Symfony because standard e-commerce framework are too much restrictive towards the website specifications.
However i would like to know if it is possible to use Magento checkout solution as standalone because this part of the framework is compliant to the specifications.
I haven't found any attempt of that but since Magento is a quite modular i am wondering if there is any chance of doing this.
yes its possible by using magento soap api

I intially had an instance of magento installed that was using a databse, then i intalled another intance of Magento Using the same database, but the problem that occured is that now my old website is getting redirected to new website.
I had configured my old Website's url from localhost to somethingElse.

Magento Enterprise does not create url redirects

I have magento enterprise 1.13.0.2. Option Use Web Server Rewrites is enable. I know when category was created magento community automaticly creates url rewrites for this category. But I wonder why magento enterprice does not do the same thing?
301s have been removed on 1.13EE - you will have to rely on canonicals.

Integrating my web application with Magento

I have created a web application in PHP, Ajax, HTML5. It is ready and working perfectly. Now I want to integrate it with magento. In the application, when user clicks buy now an image is saved in a folder on the server.
I have just started using magento. There are two ways in my mind to implement the functionality,
Navigate the user from magento products page to my application page and when user clicks buy now button on my page it will be the add to cart functionality at the back end. And i will send the image name that is randomly generated and append it into the comments of product that admin can see.
Make my app a magento custom plugin. Add my HTML, css, js, php files within magento and use my app as an internal magento application.
So, i need suggestions, comments, ideas or anything that can help me.
As I have just started with magento and I don't have any experience with e-commerce. So, my question might be showing in experience.
Try to learn Magento API it can be integrated with all your apps.
