wordpress masters please help!

Is there a simple way to take a webpage that is already designed and just plugin the postings from your wordpress blogs? I have a site already built but want to have the center portion of it be updated by wp.. hope this makes sense.

i think it is impossible.... but you have very good themes that are better from your site design and + you can modify them in accordance with your needs...

Yeah i figured it would be too simple to be able to plug it into an already made html page and have it turn into a blog..

[martinsc]

i think that could be possible, but a lot of coding...
(all the includes, queries and stuff).
bump for coders

[King Soil]

maybe one of the many blog designers out there can offer a solution?

all you want is the main articles part of WP included in your existing site?

Yep pretty much and maybe to be able to list the previous posts in the side bar.

change your wp index.php to:

PHP Code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

            <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

                <div class="entry">
                    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
                </div>

                <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
            </div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
