    I have a question regarding customizing a blog. I managed to install wordpress in my hosting account so now the wordpress blog is a part of my website. my question is how do I edit the html to add navigation buttons on the blog just so it looks like it is actually a part of my website? so basically I want people to able to navigate to the home page, contact page etc so I need put the navigation buttons somehow on the blog.

    the website is: http://www.onurkurtic.com
    the blog is: http://www.onurkurtic.com/blog

    so basically I want to put those navigation buttons at the top of the website into the blog as well

    thanks a lot!

    Try setting up a custom menu and use the Custom Url functionality to add the extra links that point to your main site.

    can I do anything by editing the CSS file or something? keep in mind I have no knowledge of PHP. so anything I do would have to be code free or in HTML or something..

    No – you cannot add a link to a menu using CSS. The method I suggested doesn’t actually require you to add any code, CSS or HTML. Your only other alternative would be to hardcode the menu in your blog.

    You may want to review the Incorporating WordPress Into Your Website Codex entry.

    the themes only support 1 menu option so I cant create multiple menus linking to different pages of my website which is a major problem

    I’m sorry, but unfortunately, you cannot take on this level of development/customization without being willing to learn the basic code languages required, including PHP, since that is the language used for WordPress, and for WordPress Themes.

    ok I think I will be able to explain myself better with pictures.

    so this is what the website looks like:
    http://www.freeimagehosting.net/gciir

    and this is what the theme I picked out (Acid Rain) looks like:
    http://www.freeimagehosting.net/xiqko

    and all I want to do is make it look something like this:
    http://www.freeimagehosting.net/52pbw

    I dont even care about changing the entire layout or design, I just need my navigation buttons thats all.

    any help?

    and I would be willing to get into the coding if that’s what it takes. I am just not sure what the difficulty level of something like this is. if it is something that a beginner can deal with, then for sure I will try!
