    If I understand your question would this work for you?

    www.YourOptmizedPress.com put it in the root

    www.YourOptimizedPress.com/blog/ sub folder for the Canvas blog

    Then have a link on both to go back and forth.

    You'll need to make two WordPress installations - one of
    which will be OptimizePress and the other for the Canvas
    theme.

    Given that you'll be having a blog, you could do one install
    of WordPress in a subdirectory /blog/ and use your Canvas
    theme for that one.

    Then you could create another WordPress installation in the
    root of your domain and use the OptimzePress theme for
    that one. This would allow you to control all of your squeeze
    pages, sales pages, etc from your root domain.

    I guess that it comes down to whether you want your main
    blog to appear on your root domain, i.e. example.com or in a
    subdirectory, i.e. example.com/blog/

    If you'd prefer your blog in the root domain, then use the
    Canvas theme there and your OptimizePress theme in a
    separate subdirectory. However, all of your subsequent
    OptimizePress pages would then have the subdirectory
    folder in the URL too, e.g. example.com/op/salespage

    Dedicated to mutual success,

    You already had the answer.

    You need one wordpress installation for each entity.

    If you're using OP as a membership site, you can create a subdomain 'members' so your site would be like this:

    members.yoursite.com <- membership area
    yoursite.com <- regular blog

    If you are using OP mainly for opt-ins, you can just create a generic subdomain such as:

    promos.yoursite.com <- opt-ins

    And create as many pages as you need there, which would look like:

    promos.yoursite.com/blogging
    promos.yoursite.com/cpa-marketing
    promos.yoursite.com/warrior-forum

    Etc, etc.

    You can never get too many answers so read everything first and then decide for yourself, cheers!
