   The problem I have is that googlesites doesnt allow certain things. I don't know about those requrements you have posted. I don't understand them. Just wondered if anyone could say yes or no to weather I could add it or not.

   Did you try Googling that?

   The answer is "maybe" depending on how you want to integrate it.

   If you want richard-miller.co.uk to be run on WordPress, then the answer is no. If your site is already running on Google Sites, you have to remember that Google Sites is not a web host, they are a website platform. You can't install extra software on top of that.

   If you want a WordPress blog to run as a subdomain, i.e. blog.richard-miller.co.uk, then the answer is maybe. You'll need to:

   1. Find a web host (like 1and1, MediaTemple, BlueHost, HostGator, etc).
   2. Point the subdomain at your web host
   3. Install WordPress on the webhost

   Unfortunately, this will essentially split your site. Your main site (richard-miller.co.uk) will still be hosted by Google Sites in one place, and your blog (blog.richard-miller.co.uk) will be hosted elsewhere and run using WordPress.

   So it's possible ... but highly depending on what exactly you mean by integrating your site and how much work you want to do to get things launched.
