    Hey howdy hey :)

    I already have a website established @ victoriaklein.net & I have a WordPress-hosted blog @ victoriaklein.net/blog/

    I want to keep my blog where it is, but also integrate the rest of my site into my WordPress blog & design. For example, I what is now victoriaklein.net/writing.html to become victoriaklein.net/writing & be manage like a WordPress page.

    I know how to create pages, but I'm not sure how to create those pages while the blog is NOT the index/main page of the site.

    Any advice? tips? tutorials?

    Thanks for the help, esmi, but I don't need to move my blog at all & it already has its own directory. My current website @ http://victoriaklein.net/ is nothing but HTML - I simply want to create pages in WordPress for each page that is already on the main website (About, Writing ... etc.). Then, my WordPress-run site could function as my full website.

    Looks like the easiest way to do it might be http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page ... but there's one problem. My Settings/Reading/ page doesn't have the option to select a static page ... UH OH! How did that happen!?

    I recently updated to 2.8.6 - does that have anything to do with it? I've never used the feature before, so I'm not sure how long it hasn't been there.

    Nevermind - figured out why the static option wasn't available ... Doesn't completely solve the problem though. Still forces folks to go to http://victoriaklein.net/blog/ to get to my main (non-blog) page ... :(

    Maybe I should simply create a new WordPress site @ http://victoriaklein.net/ & move all my old posts & images from victoriaklein.net/blog/ ?
