I want to blog to the home page of my site. Can I use wordpress to simply blog to my home page while the rest of the site remains the same? I was reading around and saw &#8220;The Loop&#8221; on the codex, is this what I need? Can I just add &#8220;The Loop&#8221; into my existing xhtml home page and style it a bit and be done?<\/p>\n<p>I have tried Textpattern and it was just simply more than I think that I need, simply because I do not want to power the entire site with the blogging engine, just a section of 1 page. So, can anyone guide me here and maybe suggest what would be best for me? Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-210700","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/210700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/210700\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
