Answer 1

You'll want to do this with an .htaccess file (assuming your web server supports it.) For example, in the DocumentRoot of my Codeigniter site I have an .htaccess file which contains:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|static|user_guide|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

This allows me to still access static files and the CI user guide. In your case the RewriteCond would be something like:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|blog)
