   I manage a Web site for a park. The site is designed in Dreamweaver using templates.

   I'd like to incorporate WordPress into the site so it looks built-in. The template is a standard top header, left navigation (some DHTML) and a footer. The main content - and the blog content - would reside in the current editable area of the site.

   I have some skills, but can someone point me in the direction of some sections in the Web manual or provide some additional information?

   Thanks in advance.

   Some links from the Codex:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
   http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags

   As a suggestion, grab an existing theme you like (may I suggest not the default/Kubrick please) and see how the tags and such work.

   Thanks for the reply - I will check out those sections and probably be back :)

   For reference, I'm working on brownstonepark.com, and will try to use WordPress for the News section, allowing for two authors.

   Then, I'll pull in the last three or four posts onto the current home page using the RSS feed.

   Make sense?

   Yup, makes plenty of sense.

   Here's a bit on a "mini-loop" that could also bring posts to the front page. RSS works too, just thought I'd toss out an option: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Adding_a_Mini-Loop

   Cool - thanks again. I'll post an update once I've got something going.
