Yes. I keep Wordpress static files in :
/usr/share/wordpress/
Configuration file for my blog natalian.org is called:
/etc/wordpress/natalian.org
In there are the mysql connection details.
/web/natalian.org -> /usr/share/wordpress/
Just a symlink sometimes might not do. For example if I drop or link my
theme in /usr/share/wordpress, it would be shared with all the other
