 * Start from the begining.
 * I want my entrys to show up on my site [www.running-spirit.net]. My blog is on
   its own sub-domain [www.running-spirit.net/b2]. I found a reply to another post
   with a way to do it. I posted what they said to do at the bottom. Now when ever
   I click on the comments it brings my blog up in the iframe. How can I get it 
   so it’ll just bring the comment page up?

    OK, here is a quick and “dirty”
   solution for your website. Maybe I’ll write up a full tutorial on this later,
   but for now the essential steps for you. 1. Delete the index.php what you have
   now at the root of your site (the one showing the errors) 2. Open your index.
   html (the main page) and the index.php from the classic theme (wp-content/themes/
   classic/index.php) 3. A little bit of code reading: – you have “contentcontent”
   div with manually updated news – you want to replace it with the ‘content’ part
   of the WP, basically with The Loop – even if you are reluctant, you have to take
   a look at it; it starts here: <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) :
   the_post(); ?> … and this is the end of it: <?php endif; ?> – in between, even
   if you are like me, i.e. not knowing anything about PHP, you can see a lot of
   template tags with pretty much intuitive names, like: the_date; the_permalink;
   the_title; the_content; the_category etc.
 * 4. Save your index.html as index.php (do I need to say backup everything?)
    5.
   Now we’ll edit this new index.php file: – in the “content” div you have 3 elements:
   <div id=”contenttop”> <span class=”updateinfo”> <p class=”updatecontent”> – clean
   it up, leave only ONE instance of these elements, and delete the text from them–
   WP is going to put p tags around the posts, so let’s change the last element 
   into div class=”updatecontent”> important! at the very top of the file, before
   anything put these lines: <?php require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’); ?> /blog/
   is necessary because your WP installation is in that directory under the root,
   right? 6. “Importing” stuff from WP’s classic index:
 * – Copy/paste the beginning of the Loop right under your “contenttop” div, like
   this:
    <div id=”contenttop”>News and Updates</div> <?php if (have_posts()) : 
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 * – Next in WP is the_date tag, copy/paste into your span for time:
    <span class
   =”updateinfo”><?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?></span> (or use the_time, whichever
   fits you, more reading in Codex > Template tags)
 * – Copy the remaning part of the Loop starting from:
    <div class=”post”>….. down
   till <?php endif; ?> into your <div class=”updatecontent”>

 * I don’t really understand what are you doing here…
    You copied my post from [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36570#post-207507)
   into your post above, without making any sense of it. That reply was about the
   OP’s own site and a solution for his special situation, using the markup from
   his index page. Why did you copied it here… it’s beyond my understanding.
