Need Help Configuring Nginx to run Wordpress

[Stefanita Rares Dumitrescu]

oh well i guess you are right here. That's why wordpress.com - the 
number 1 blog software is using nginx, just because it isn't ready for 
prime time. nginx is a web server. mind that when you make statements 
that nginx should make guides for wordpress. wordpress works just fine, 
you have to read the guides though.
