I don’t know if you have the skill to do it yourself, but I guess what you ‘want’ is someone to create a wordpress theme that looks like your existing design. That would be the best scenario. If you wanted to put the time in to study the theme system, I’m sure you could convert your current site into a wp theme. Perhaps you might even find someone willing to help you with it, considering the nature of your site, and the large number of theme authors out there.

I personally would never do it, but you could also use an iframe to contain your wordpress, keep it’s theme fairly basic so it blends in within it’s frame. iframes are deprecated, but lots of folks still use them.

If I were you, I would convert the site to be entirely wordpress. WordPress let’s you have additional pages besides the journaling part, so you could easily have your site appear as it does now, except have a wordpress engine.

Double check your installation process, and confirm with the author that the version of the plugin you are using is compatible with the version of wordpress you are using.

I still don’t understand what you want to do. Can you please fully explain what you want to do, and how wordpress fits into it?

What won’t work exactly? Can you describe more what happens? What uri does a link show? What do you see after you click on it?

Perhaps there is an admin theme that would better work with your gizmo. I have no idea, and since the vast majority of us folks here don’t have one of those, it might be hard to figure out. If I was you, I would search for admin themes that offer ‘simple’ display menat for pda’s etc. Perhaps there is something available.

Have you heard of wordpress? 🙂

As you saying you want it to look the same? Or just that you want visitors/users to be able to post things? WordPress may well serve your needs, but customizing it’s looks can be difficult without design skill. I recommend you cruise the pre-written themes to see if something will work for you.

In my opinion, you want to run a separate database for the doctors, and just have calling code available to users of wordpress. This isn’t just a matter of converting a database, but requires custom written code.

Perhaps you should cruise the plugins to see if there is something you could use. I might recommend xdforum at this point. It’s a straight forward forum system that runs within wordpress. It *might* be possible to install xdforum, and then convert your database into individual threads. As I’m not familiar with the software, I couldn’t advise on that.
