You could simply include The_Loop in that space.
Did you see this tutorial?

wow, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction moshu. I wish I found this last week. I have so far integrated the blog into my site. My only concerns are twofold. you can check it out at http://www.thetvaddict.com
1) the site seems very slow to load.
2) the links don’t seem to work – comments and the title links just get 404 errors!
any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
tried your site and it actually it loaded pretty fast – tried to leave a comment and click around but nothing works.
do not really know the cause – just wanted to confirm.

Glad it worked 🙂
I wish I found this last week.
You should have asked last week “where is moshu’s integrating tutorial?”
Now the next step – if you want – to make the blog to look like your site 😉 What happens now it is described in tutorial:
“b) You will notice that clicking on the posts’ titles and “Comments” links it will take you to your blog at example.com/blog – displaying it with the Default (Kubrick) theme.”

Dear Moshu,
I did read that. Yes, I can remove comments.. but I wanted comments (hoping that folks will actually read and comment on the site!) So is there a way to do this WITH comments?
Sure. As I said above: “next step” – making a theme that looks like your main page.
If you have already a working “skeleton” of a valid (x)html webpage, it’s not that difficult to put in the WP template tags.
Here is a good explanation of the basic template(s):

And I also have a “visual anatomy” about the template files building up a theme:

Finally, there is the Codex, our online manual:

moshu, thanks again for the help. i’ll check out the recommended links.
Why did you change the divs into spans? (That’s why; and causing a lot of validation errors – besides the ones that already exists in your original code: cehck it out)

moshu, i put the spans back to divs. Is there an easier way to use my own template. While I read through your links and somewhat understand them. the whole process seems quite complex – and clearly i’m not a programmer!
You must be very young if you still believe in “easy ways”… No, there never is an easy way, sorry.
I’m doing this as a business (making themes that match the client’s existing site) – and it’s not easy. But rewarding 🙂
Edit. And I am not a programmer either. Just a wanderer linguist.
