Thanks again for the help, I managed to get the blog page to show up when entering the website address in a browser. When building a template I understand that there are a few files I need but where is the location of the actual page that the blog is built on?
Thanks for the reply, I did as you described but when I enter my web address (www.waxbotanical.com) in firefox I still get my old home page.
Does the index.php file you listed just include the above text nothing else? Also did you mean that I would definitily have to transfer/rebuild my old design in a wordpress template as there would be no way for me to insert my wordpress blog into the HTML of my old home page?
