This is really simple. Follow my instructions.

  1. Login to your cpanel.
  2. Create a folder named blog in your root.
  3. Upload the latest version of wordpress you downloaded from WordPress.org.
  4. Unzip it to the blog folder. (Make sure to move all files outside the folder wordpress)
  5. Create a MySQL database and add a user to it. Make sure to keep the database name, username and password. For most of the server the hostname will be localhost.
  6. Now go to www.example.com/blog and just follow the instructions there and Run the installer.
  7. Now you can login into your WordPress Dashboard.
  8. Search google for some free wordpress themes and install one of the themes in Theme section in Dashboard.
  9. Now your wordpress blog is ready. In your site for the blog tab give the link as www.example.com/blog.

Assuming you are self-hosting, and have access to your controls;

You will need to create a new MySQL database, and safely store your database name, username, hostname and password for later.

You will have to download wordpress http://wordpress.org/, and follow the installation instructions also found at http://wordpress.org/.

In order to do what I think you're wanting to do, you will need to create a new theme by creating a new folder in your Content > Themes folder, and move ALL your site files into this new directory.

Add to your CSS file to make it an applyable 'theme':

/*
Theme Name: 
Theme URI: 
Author: 
Author URI: 
Description: 
Version: 
License: 
License URI: 
*/

You will then have to assign this new theme to Wordpress, and create at least two template files,

category.php
single.php

Within these two templates is where you will loop through your posts, and display your full posts, respectively.

This isn't a graceful solution, however, it will do what you want it to in a rudimentary way. It would be better to develop a proper theme for your site, and fully take advantage of Wordpress as a CMS, and not just a blogging platform. There are lots of resources on how this is done, and it may seem overwhelming but start small, that's how you learn.
