Who says you can’t? Did you try it and it didn’t work? You’ve given no indication as to what, if any, problem exists. I assume “the thread posted a few months ago” contains the information as to whatever the problem is but since you didn’t post the link to that thread, or state your problem, sorry but I’m not gonna go searching for it so I can’t help you.

you will see what I mean. Heck! it scares me when I read DO NOT USE FP with WP. I spent so much time building my site with help from friends long gone, I dont want to gamble all this work. Thanks for the comment.
As long as your blog is in a separate directory and you don’t ever try to edit the WP files with FP you will be fine. I think what you will find in a very short time is that WP is much more powerful and easier to update than a static site. Read the codex section on theme development, because pretty soon you will want to create a fully functioning WP theme for your entire site.

H there, I cant’t really see what you are worried about, it seems your original site designed in frontpage is fine, you can of course continue that as normal. WordPress would easily operate from its own directory. and you can link to it from any of your html pages,
The warnings that you re talking about are about opening php files in frontpage, this is not advised because it doesn’t handle php. and will almost certainly corrupt the code, when editing php files you are better off with notepad or a free piece of software I use like PSPad.

I’ve used frontpage for years, but it is well known to add its own code and line breaks that are not suitable for php.
good luck.mike.
