Implementing WordPress into existing site (5 posts)

    I am really new to blogging and it seems the thing to do.

    Can I implement wordpress into an existing website with the same look and feel as my layout and graphics? or do I have to use a specific template with a link from my site.

    Thanks for any help and assistance

    Yes, you can do that.

    Or, rather, somebody can do that for you. If you're not familiar with how to build WordPress templates, you'll probably need to hire someone to do it for you -- unless you want to take the time to learn how.

    Thanks for the quick replay Steve!

    I am a quick learner and have started building a site already and have a menu tab for "Blogs" at http://www.exportbc.com/blogs.html

    Ideally if I could drop wordpress right into the page would be perfect but that would probably be to easy.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    You can't actually 'drop wordpress right into the page'. You'll have to build theme files that incorporate your visual design. If you're willing to learn, download a few free WordPress themes and look at how they're put together. The design you have should translate into a WP theme pretty easily once you gain knowledge of how WP templates and themes work.

    A good place to start learning is to dive into the docs at http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout
