• I’m wondering if i can use wordpress as a news/ blog in my existing website… basically – i don’t want to use any of the templates- i want to use the site i have- i don’t want any features, calenders, etc… except for the blog and comments and i want to include that in my already built css/html website.

    thanks!!!

  • Er yes.

    Not so much.

    You could, if your existing website was PHP pages, I think. Then you can call-in the blog on your page. If your site is plain HTML and CSS, I don’t know if you can do this.

    Other crazy work-arounds could include using an I-frame to show your blog on your HTML page; or using a service that shows your RSS feed content from your blog on another site (such as a site called “Spring Widgets”).

    Or, you could just have your existing website, and put a link to the /wordpress part of your website and make the blog there with WP templates that look kind of like your existing design.

    hope this helps

    cool… thanks so much!

    i can include php code in the existing pages- and just change the extension to .php- i’ve used cutenews like this in past projects where i just put in:

    <?PHP
    $category = “2”;
    $template = “divNews”;
    include(“cutenews/show_news.php”);
    ?>

    thats what i’m hoping i can accomplish with wordpress… so i guess thats what i’m wondering- is it possible to do this?

    thanks for the help!

    It is possible but is much more complicated than the code you gave above…
