  • A simple version of a WordPress page I’d suggest looking over is wp.php, which should reside in your main blog directory. But here’s the lowdown on creating a WordPress-enabled PHP document:

    It must have something like the following at the very top of the template/PHP file:

    <?php
    require('./wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    Then to include post content, you want to create a version of The Loop:

    One more question, cause I’m very confused sorry to be bothersome; Should I copy the wp header and add in the lines from the loop?

    This was just posted: article on Integration of WordPress into an existing site and it is pretty intensive but might have some answers. WordPress users are pretty brilliant and wonderful about sharing their knowledge with others, so I’m sure there are other such articles on the net, too.

    When I did the same thing, I just did it very simple. I installed WordPress to its own subfolder on my site, stylized it to look however I wanted it to look using the files that came with it, and then linked to that page from my static site.

    I didn’t try to force the page into one of my own pages, though the thought occurred to me. I wanted the blog part to LOOK different, so I stylized that to match the look of my site but not the rest of the site because I wanted people to know they were in the blog and not the EXPERT section. Blog=my humble opinions.

    Good luck!
