I just purchased and installed Movable Type 5. I already have a website in place, and I just want to add a blog to my site. Is this even possible? Should I have just stuck with MT 4?
I want to set up my blog as follows:
a) I want the main blog address to be at the root - http://www.example.com/blog.html
( with a .html after the word blog - not like this /blog/ )
b) and the Permalinks to be like this - http://www.example.com/2011/08/blog-entry-title.html (with a .html file extention at the end of the permalink)
Thank you.

Just found this - not perfect, but it's something -

Yes, the method that Maarten recommends is the current work around for the movable type 5 product architecture.
On the other hand, if you would like, you could integrate your website within movable type using the parent website for your blog ;)
