 * Hi all,
 * Very new to wordpress and have a question regarding widgets. I am designing a
   site that is mainly static css/html with a sub directory in which I installed
   wordpress to take advantage a a few plugins and so far it seems to be working(
   yay!) but I wanted to find out if there is any way to use the widget for a particular
   plugin in the sub directory on the main static html page. Is there any way of
   embedding it or is that an impossibility?
 * Thanks for any help. 🙂

 * No You will not be able to use widgets on a html page from subdirectory as the
   widgets are coded in php and they will only work on wordpress.

 * An option you have that could help you however is that you could convert your
   existing website to wordpress, then add the widgets that way. I don’t know how
   complex your website is, but I have converted websites in a few hours for simple
   ones.

 * Thanks for the answers. I had hopes but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I will
   look into conversion of the site.
