mod_rewrite in htaccess redirecting instead of rewriting and not working 100%

I'm in a siutation where I need static pages to take over for much of a wordpress site I'm working with. I have created a /static directory in order to hold the static pages, but I also need to keep the exiting blog visible. I have the following code in my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^blog index\.php [L]
RewriteRule ^20* index\.php [L]
RewriteRule ^$ static [L]

Going to mydomain.com/blog or mydomain.com/2014/01/blog-post both work, but if I try to go to mydomain.com the URL is being redirected to mydomain.com/static which is not what I am trying to accomplish.

Additionally, trying to visit any other page such as mydomain.com/about.php throws a 404 error which makes me think my rewrite is entirely wrong. Essentially I want all requests except for the blog page and blog posts to be rewritten to the files in /static

You need a trailing at the end of the directory or else mod_dir and DirectorySlash will redirect the browser to the URL with the trailing slash. So you're 3rd rule needs to be:

RewriteRule ^$ static/ [L]
