Both sites still need a lot of content but the layout (and therefore my work) is now ready. Here is how these sites now look:

Installing WordPress, finding a good looking theme, finding and adding nice plugins and migrating the content from my old site was quite easy. The thing that costed me the most time was a good way to do the url rewrite. I solved that by creating a simple error.asp page and assigning that page to the 404 error. You can find more info about this error.asp here.

One other point that I wanted to solve is that I have multiple domains running on 1 website and I do want multiple WordPress installations but not for all domains. I also did not want to use WordPress MU because of compatibility and flexability issues. I solved this by conditionally setting the database table prefix in the wp-config.php for the WordPress instances I wanted and adding a conditional redirect in the index.php for the none WordPress domains I have. Here is the code that I use.

wp-config.php

$table_prefix  = 'wp_';
$sl = strlen($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
$d = substr($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], $sl - 10);
if ($d == 'taalvos.nl'){
	$table_prefix  = 'taalvos_';

index.php

$d = substr($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], $sl - 16);
if ($d == 'de-rozemarijn.nl'){
	/** redirect function from wp-app.php should also be included. */
	redirect('default_rozemarijn.asp');
}

The number of Plugins that are available for WordPress can be overwhelming. Below is a list of the Plugins that I installed. Thanks Thushan for a couple of nice tips.
