 * you can insert the wordpress page into the site designed by editor. i used net
   objects fusion to create. [http://www.indodreamin.com](http://www.indodreamin.com)
   then created blog directory where i am hosting the wordpress blog. check it out.
   and mail me if you want to know more.

 * if you use an external editor to design visually, do that, and then go to the“
   code view”
 * find the tags “body” one says body between < and > the other says /body between
   those two angle brackets. stuff between there is your content. you can select
   all of that, and try popping it into wordpress in the “html” editor view. if 
   it doesn’t work, just delete the post/content. No harm done..
 * Note: it may not keep all of your formatting. It depends on how your wysiwyg 
   editor is styling the page (which gets more complicated and program-specific 
   than can be explained here)..
 * what external editor are you using, that might help someone guide you. (to use
   inline style only)
 * I’m banking partially on the editor default being pretty ‘stupid’, using deprecated
   elements – kinda like wordpress wysiwyg. ~<duck />~

 * I’m using Nvu. I think I’ve done what you suggest and it didn’t work. I just 
   read up on deprecated elements (thank you) and I’m horrified that WordPress uses
   them.
 * I have to say since I’ve been using it, I’ve come to the conclusion that WordPress
   is the most over-hyped software on the net! ~<stretch prostrate on ground with
   eyes closed and breath held />~ (not sure about that syntax).
 * Your response has encouraged me to try Dreamweaver 3 which I still have somewhere
   and seems to be about the same era as WordPress (20th Century).
 * Thanks.
