    Hi... I am new. I have scanned the forum and can't find anything on this topic... I am sure it's here somewhere.. just can't find it.

    I would like to insert my blog into my website. Is there a way to do this?
    thanks

    You'll need to provide way more info to get a useful answer.
    What do you mean by "inserting"? Describe your site's structure. Will you show the blog separately, too - or only integrated in your existing site? Do you want to show the whole blog in your site or only the latest posts...? etc.

    Hi Moshu.
    I am building my site through Blue Voda site builder and would like to integrate it into my site, showing the whole blog.
    Does that help? Can you tell I am a novice?
    thanks

    Well, if you are a self-appointed novice... I wouldn't try to "combine" WP with any other webmaker gizmo, especially NOT with a wysiwyg editor (like BV).
    You cannot open WP files in any wysiwyg editor - don't even try, it will just mess up everything.

    If you are new, some good readings:

    For designing your WP theme:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
    Note. None of the designing tutorials work with wysisyg type editors like your BlueVoda.

    What the heck is wysiwyg??? Are ya cussin' at me? LOL I know you weren't... but I couldn't tell you what those initials stand for to save my life.... such a newbie.
    Okay I can't integrate WP into BV... got it.

    Can I save my website template page and install that into my WP blog so it looks the same? If so, what file type?
    Thanks Moshu... I really appreciate the help!

    wysiwyg (you can always google for anything unknown to you!) stands for: What You See Is What You Get, the kind of editor that doesn't "bore" you with code and shows only the end-result.

    The answer to your second question is found by visiting the two last links in my previous reply and reading ALL the articles there :)
    It is more complicated than you think and it really requires a bit more knowledge of WP, (X)HTML, and CSS.
