   All it takes to make a regular PHP page WordPress-enabled is to add something like the following to the very top:

   <?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

   Make sure the path to wp-blog-header.php is the correct one. From there you can use all the standard WordPress functions and template tags. To display posts you just need The Loop:

   The index of available template tags may help in setting it up (using the index.php template from any WordPress theme as an example layout will help here):

   Read the second one first, but if you are really having troubles, then just find some kind of a PHP or javascript that allows for comments and leave WordPress alone. It isn't always the best tool for the job.

   If you have been trying for three days, then figure on a couple weeks to do this. Relax, take your time, read a lot and you will figure it out.

   If you are determined to give WordPress a try, then I recommend you start with WordPress Lessons and see if there is some basic information that will help you get this process in your head. If this is way over your head, start simple with First Steps With WordPress to get a handle on the jargon.

   If you really can't do this, consider hiring a web design consultant.

   Blog Barter - Have something to trade, they will help you with your blog.
   WordPress Pro Mailing List - Looking for Professional Services.

   But I know you can do it.
