   hello all,
   I want to change the News page on my personal website into a more bloglike style. I was looking at MT but got confused reading the installation instructions.
   Now I'm looking at WP.
   My question is that since my site uses frames ( not good... I know! I know!)
   Yet, is it possible to keep the navigation of my site in the bottom frame and load the WP blog where the news page is now?

   best regards george
   p.s. does anyone know an example of sites with frames and have a WP blog?

   Yes, you just need the iframe to load 'The Loop'

   That's the 'engine' so to speak.

   thanks Podz hmm, I'm reading and studying how to figure this out. I know nothing about PHP.
   And as far as I know my site doesn't use iframes, or maybe you meant the upper frame where now the html page with content is. That one should load 'The Loop'?
   right?

   It depends what you want from WP...as it is, if you use the whole code, you'll get the whole thing, from header down to footer, including a menu.
   Just using The Loop will get you the 'entries' part of the code only.
   I don't use frames so I'm not the best person to ask about their use.

   First I'll get WP up and running on the site, then ask a php/html magician to link the blog into the news section.
   It must be possible... somehow...
   I guess.
   thanks so far Podz, anyone else any tips?

   George, look at the file wp.php, which should reside in your weblog's root directory. It's a barebones version of WP's index.php, and pretty much all you need in your top frame (though you'll probably want to play with the layout, etc.).

   Thanx Kafkaesqui,
   So basicly now I link to the ../news.html (content top frame)
   But I can change that and direct to the ../wpfolder/index.php
   and that should work?
   To you this might sound like a silly question but I know nothing about PHP and MySQL.

   Sounds to me like you're figuring it out all right. ;)
