Basically, you want your WordPress blog to integrate seamlessly with the look and feel of your website, right?
Before I would just manually edit the “blog” page and I wasn’t really happy with it.
What do you mean by manually edit the “blog” page, do you mean you “pretended” it was a blog when it was not?
any way I can build it into my website rather than having it as something all off to its self.
Sure, there are many ways to do that… either install WordPress in one of the directories and include the link to your blog in main navigation of your site. Plus, you could always code your WordPress theme to have the same layout as your main website. Site URL?
You just need to install WordPress in a subdirectory

Then, you’ll need to add a link or menu item to your website that points to your blog.
ie http://www.yoursite.com/blog
The blog will remain contained in the subdirectory and you can do whatever you want with the rest of your site 🙂
Edit: I just noticed that the previous poster suggested the same thing at the end of their post. Sry, I missed it somehow.

That would be correct.
“What do you mean by manually edit the “blog” page, do you mean you “pretended” it was a blog when it was not?”
Yeah pretty much haha.

I have it in a different directory already, and I was thinking of coding the theme already but I was checking to make sure there wasn’t an easier way first. Thanks for the replies.
btw, the site URL is http://fmtkband.byethost4.com/index.html wordpress is in /blog on the site. I haven’t had time to make a link to it yet.
