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](http://www.onurkurtic.com) the blog is: [http://www.onurkurtic.com/blog](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!

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. * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-customizing-theme/#post-2528761) * You may want to review the [Incorporating WordPress Into Your Website](http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website) Codex entry. * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-customizing-theme/#post-2528793) * 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 * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-customizing-theme/#post-2528801) * > 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.. * 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. * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-customizing-theme/#post-2528813) * 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](http://www.freeimagehosting.net/gciir) * and this is what the theme I picked out (Acid Rain) looks like: [http://www.freeimagehosting.net/xiqko](http://www.freeimagehosting.net/xiqko) * and all I want to do is make it look something like this: [http://www.freeimagehosting.net/52pbw](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? * Thread Starter [Onur Kurtic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onurkurtic/) * (@onurkurtic) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-customizing-theme/#post-2528816) * 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!
