 * 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!!!

 * 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…
