Plugging WordPress into my preexisting html website

Yes and it made no sense to me. If I just put that header into my page it will automatically pull my wordpress into my page? Or do I need to do the Loop too?

Ok. Makes some sense. So…

Put that code from “Integrating WordPress…” into the page, followed by The Loop, and tada?

It does not seem to be working. I’ve taken my html file, added the 2 codes (integrating and loop) and saved it as a test.htm and put it onto the server. Is there a specific place I should be placing this file on the server? Should I save it in a different format?

Yes to both. This is the error message I receive.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()
