    Yes, anybody can help. I mean anybody can point to the answers ( as did macmanx above) but there is no solution that will happen by one single click :)
    What you want is integrating your blog into an existing site (BTW, these are all good keywords for search), and then you want to tweak your CSS file for the blog.

    You just have to try these things and keep a backup copy of everything you're working on. The best way to learn is always trial-and-error.

    Haylie, here's how I would go about it if I were you, given that you don't know too much about what's going on (I gather) with HTML, CSS, your template, WordPress.
    Copy and paste the contents of your index.php file into Notepad or whatever you use to edit your HTML files. Notepad (or the Mac equivalent if you are not on a PC) will do just fine.
    You need to figure out the structure of the page. Divisions with IDs (e.g., #header, #footer, #content, etc.) usually signify a major element of the page's structure. In your case, what you want to zone in on right now is the #menu section. It starts with this piece of code:
    <div id="menu">
    You need to look carefully at what is contained within this section. Don't take away too much. Looks like you want to get rid of the calendar at least. Perhaps you don't want the archives in there either. Judging from the layout sample you provided (burning-fire.net), you don't want the archives. Feel free to go ahead and take out these pieces of code AND NO OTHERS for right now:
    To remove the calendar, take this out:
    <li id="calendar">
    <?php get_calendar(); ?>



  13. To remove the link list (Alex, Matt, WordPress, etc. links), take this out:
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>

    To remove the monthly archives links, take this out:
    <li id="archives"><?php _e('Archives'); ?>

      <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>


    To remove the category archives links, take this out:
    <li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories'); ?>

      <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>


    Hope this helps. ALWAYS always always make a backup before you perform surgery on ANY file!
