    Target Site: <http://ahy4life.com/> on hostmosted. com
    ~30 .html pages

    I was asked by the the company to introduce WP their site (which someone else built and who is no longer available) so that they are not so dependent on a Web developer to put up an event notice, for instance.

    I am new to WP; I _have_ tried to figure this out from several of the 24,000 entries on the topic, but am still unsure whether to rebuild or to convert. I did install WP into a <WordPress> subdir.
    Perhaps a nudge in the right direction is all that's needed.

    Thanks, -Biggs

    You will have to 'rebuild' the current site into a WP site.
    You will need to find a theme that looks a lot like your current site (there are many out there) that do look like that.
    Then you will need to add the content from old site (by hand) by making Pages and Posts in the new WP site.
    You will have quite a learning curve to master in this process.

    There isn't a nifty little button to push that takes your old site and turns it into a WP site... sorry. (But what a great idea eh?)

    Just get someone on Fiverr to convert it for you on the cheap.
