How do I add a wordpress blog into my existing html website

I have a complete HTML based website and want to add my blog to the site.

I want to keep all my design the way it is, including my navigation.

I just want to integrate the blog part.

I guess what I m saying is the blog page to look exactly like the rest of my website without having to change all my website to wordpress.

I have not found anything that will help me except a cut off video on youtube that does nothing for me, and a codex page that does not help either.

Step by step would be great! Any help will be heaven sent. Thanx!

My website where i'd like to install the blog: http://richminded.net/learning-center/index.html

I had request like this several times, clients wanted blog installed to html site, without changing all site to WordPress. These are possible solutions:

  1. You can install WP on sub-domain like blog.yourwebsitename.com , and then add that link to your main website navigation
  2. You can install WP in additional folder like yourwebsitename.com/blog, and then add that link to your main website navigation
  3. You can forget about WP and create simple PHP based Blog mechanism inside your web site. Here is a tutorial that could help you https://daveismyname.com/creating-a-blog-from-scratch-with-php-bp

Personally, I prefer 1st option (that's why I put it on first place, see what I did there.. hehehe)... Ok, let's get serious, if you decide to do this, then you probably want to:

  • Install WordPress on sub-domain ofcourse
  • Create a custom template from your original design (HTML to WP)
  • Make sure that Analytics are working well across domains and sub-domains

Hope this helps, All best,

You can install WordPress in a folder named "blog" where you current site resides. Then you would just need to install a highly customizable theme and set it to match the fonts, colors, links, header, etc. of your current static site.
