 * We’ve a site that is about to go online soon. It’s already been created using
   plone by another party. I’ve heard of the difficulties in conversion from Plone
   to just about everything, so I extracted the site, which did not use a SQL database,
   and moved the core site to a new host (in other words, it’s a basic working HTML
   site, almost as if one used FrontPage or Netobjects Fusion to create it. As it
   is, although not on a server yet, it works fine. What we’d like to do is add 
   WordPress to write and update. Is there a way to make this addition without having
   to rebuild the entire site (not that its large, its less than 20 mB)?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * If you want the site to look the same, you’ll have to develop a WordPress theme
   that looks like your current site.
 * If not, you can just find an existing theme you like, then copy and paste the
   content over.

 * Dear Steve,
 * Please mention the URL of the site.
 * You have to see that the number of columns in your current site, then search 
   wordpress with the columns and color of theme.
 * Regards.
