 * If our current template is an shtml template is there a way to use the wordpress
   content management within it without change more than the new area? How would
   i go about doing this?

 * prbably gonna just be an RSS feed integration….. I’m pretty sure you need to 
   use .php files for true integration

 * is there anyway to change the shtml over to php easily? shtml calls the template
   files from a directory called /templates. Maybe if i hard coded them into .php
   files instead? but then i would need to change every page on my site if i wanted
   to change one thing… any ideas?

 * The [Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) doc might
   help describe the WordPress theme structure.
