Combining Wordpress with existing website

  • Hello folks. I was just wondering how difficult it would be for me to incorporate a wordpress blog page to my clients website? The site is almost done, I just need to make a blog page. Any brief solution? Thanks
    Note: first time attempting to create blog page in a website. so much fun! :(
  • there is a video series on this website about how to turn wordpress into a css style website. a 3 part series. check the video section
  • Basically, create a new directory in your home directory for the site. For example "blog" and install WordPress in that directory. Then you'll have a "blog page" at http://yourdomain.com/blog
  • Hey hey, deerby - I just tackled this one myself and found a tutorial post at http://www.jonathanwold.com/tutorials/wordpress_theme/ by Jonathan Wold to be really helpful.

    If you are using a dynamic site, be sure to change your .htaccess file to allow the wordpress script to run autonomously with browser pointed at yourdomain.com/blog.

    G'luck!
