nginx + wordpress rewrite question

[Hone Watson]

Wordpress uses post_name for queries from the url.  Out of the box it
only supports hyphens and not underscores.  You need to also change
your permalink settings in wordpress admin Settings > Permalinks.

The rewrite only needs to use try_file conf as outlined in the
wordpress config on wiki.nginx.org.   That or:

error_page 404 /index.php?q=$uri;

You can probably do something like this at best:

/blog/my-blog-post-title-49
or
/blog/my-blog-post-title-49.html

I have been tasked with hooking up Wordpress to nginx. The basic setup was easy enough. However, I'm running into some problems with the rewrites. I've been asked to rewrite from the static permalink format...
