Integrate wordpress blog into static html/css site

I've searched with google but have not found any good explanations on how I might integrate a wordpress blog into an existing site.
I have some familiarity with wordpress and have xampp and wordpress installed on my local computer. I'm looking for info/tutorial on how I could add a page to a static htm/css site that would have all of the navigation, header and footer elements common to the site, but the body of the page would be a wordpress blog.
Any advice or reference to instructional info would be very much appreciated.
thanks!

RikRamasay14 - thank you for your reply. unfortunately the link you provided goes to a blank page with "There is currently no text in this page." message.
The link seems to have applied to my text incorrectly.

Integrate WP blog into Muse website

Hi,
I am about to design my own page, but would like to integrate my existing Wordpress Blog into a Muse site. Since both designs are very different, I would like to design in Muse and include the WP blog with very simple design into a Muse site. In the beginnings of HTML, you were able to include other sites (remember those ugly scroll bars).
is there any smart way to include this blog into an existing Muse website - pretty much have a header/footer/nav bar surronding the blog.
Thanks for your help and also examples,
Markus

I don't think this is going to be very helpful.
I have been researching this. I like most Muse users am not a coder,
I love Muse in that it allows me to create what I am thinking about without mucking around in any code
But here is the problem....Muse creates an HTML site whereas Wordpress sites are PHP sites
I think the only way you could do it it properly is to either install wordpress onto a sub folder on your site named whatever you want your blog to be called and find a similar wordpress theme to your site then add a Photoshop button to link to that blog
or....and this is the one I am going to play with and if I can get it to work I will post my step by step instructions....because no one that I can find has tried to give a detailed how to on this process.
1.Create your site with Muse with a page for your blog in the site tree
2.Export to HTML
3. Open the Blog page with dreamweaver or another web coding program
4. change it to a PHP
5. add the code needed to make Wordpress work on this page
6. publish your site
I will admit I am really fuzzy on 5 at this point but I am working on it.
You will still need to upload Wordpress to your site
Can anyone at least tell me if this will work.

Help on how to import static HTML web site in Portal v2

Hi I am new to Portal and I would like to know if there is a way to upload an entire static HTML Web site (pages and images) into Portal (v2) or do I have to re-create each pages one by one.
Thanks for your time,
Louis-Martin Rivard

Louis,
Static HTML pages cannot be mapped to Portal pages. The Portal page concept revolves around
providing a customizable container for content, rather than a HTML page which contains text
and images.
I am assuming that your website has the following structure
/htdocs
/sitennn
/pages
/subsite1
/subsite2...etc
/images
/scripts
You need to upload the zip file as an item and then unzip the zip file. When you unzip the file,
Portal will create the folders and populate them. So, if you have a root HTML file called
index.html, then you can access it as http://<server.domain>/pls/<dad>/docs/folder/<sitennnn>/pages/index.html
Assuming you have specified relative links, all images/content should show up correctly.
Once again, I would like to suggest that unless we are talking a 100+ pages and megabytes of
content, consider recreating/redesigning your website using Portal Pages, instead of upload and unzip. You will have to spend some resources (time, people) and redesign, but it will
pay off in the long run.
hth
ps: Next time, could you please provide the Portal version and platform. It helps a lot, while
trying to come up with a soltion
I read and try to upload a zip file in Portal but the only thing I found is how to upload a single web page in a page group. Can you direct me on how to upload the entire web site?
Thanks for you help, the documentation is very poor...

Classic/static html+css export

Unfortunately i've never really figuerd out all that div-floating margin-and-padding-overlaping css mambo jumbo
I always prefered flash over html+css becouse of its logical visual approach and I even developed my own little news cms and we suppose to live happily ever after but apple crew that all up ;(
is it posible to make nice and clean layout in flash and then convert it to html+css?
with semantics like container symbol -> container div and buttons become functional links?
that would get smile back on my face :/
i would appreciate any help!

Incorporating a Wordpress Blog into iWeb

Hi, I'm aware of using an iFrame + code which I've tried. However iWeb has quite a narrow layout and cannot show all of the Wordpress page.
So I'm wondering if others have encounted this. Is it a matter of choosing the right Wordpress theme (currently Twent Ten) or scaling down the Wordpress page?
Also a scroll bar does not seem to appear with the embedded Blog.

No. You can increase the width of the page in iWeb - I don't use a template, preferring the white so that I can create my own site, so my page width is always about 900, which does not present a problem.
You can adjust the size of an iframe by altering the width and height in the html snippet.
Add the scrolling feature by just add scrolling="yes".

A Basic Guide on Adding a WordPress Blog to OpenCart

Blogging is an effective and inexpensive way of engaging with your customers. Creating blog posts constantly provide search engines fresh content to index, which eventually help set you up as an authority in your domain. Blogging help you connect with your target audience and build trust within your own industry, by providing valuable information about your business.
When it comes to build an e-commerce website, an unfortunate reality is that some people believe that blogging isn’t necessary for e-stores or e-commerce website. But, that’s a wrong notion!
As a matter of fact, it is more important to create blogs when you’re selling something, owing to the fact that customers doubt buying online. And so, offering products at lower or discounted prices may not even work in drawing your customers’ attention. However, having a blog section in your e-store can help you create brand loyalty. But, the problem is that e-commerce sites don’t come integrated with blogging functionality.
Luckily, there are some great blogging platforms out there that can be integrated within your e-shop. WordPress is one such excellent and the most widely used platform for creating blogs. Once you’ve decided to integrate a WP blog, it is also very important to ensure that you’re using a reliable and coveted e-commerce platform. Most of us have a tendency to use Magento platform for building online stores or sites, however, for creating a small or medium-size e-store or e-shop OpenCart best fit your needs.
Through this post, I would like to talk about how you can integrate WordPress powered blogs to OpenCart using Wordpress Blog Feeds extension. But before proceeding further let’s first have an overview of the OpenCart e-commerce platform.
OpenCart – A Brief Introduction
OpenCart is open-source software that helps set up an e-commerce site cost-effectively. It is an ideal choice for small and medium-size merchants for creating their online site. It is lightweight e-commerce software and is easier to handle. Just like Magento e-commerce platform. OpenCart also comes with tons of extensions (or add-ons) that help embed extra functionality into an online store.
Overview of Pre-requisites
Let's have a quick overview of pre-requisites you will need for integrating a WP powered blog in OpenCart:
WordPress version compatible with your OpenCart installation.
Access to cPanel.
Acquire ZIP file for the “WordPress Blog Feed” extension from the OpenCart site.
Install vQmod folder because the extension we are using for the integration requires this folder to operate.
How to Install WordPress Blog?
Step 1 – First, you will need to login-in into your Cpanel (or you can even choose to use any FTP client in case you've knowledge about working with FTP).
Step 2 – In this step, you need to upload “Wordpress Blog Feeds” extension zip file into your OpenCart directory.
Step 3 – Next, from your cPanel logged-in screen you can view an option “File manager”, from there click on the zip file where your OpenCart installation is being uploaded. And then, choose EXTRACT to uncompress the extension zip file. Make sure to save your uncompressed file in the vQmod folder.
For example: When you access and open your OpenCart URL or folder location/vqmod/xml/, the file you need to extract will be named as vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml
Now that you have extracted the file, simply navigate to the vQmod folder and click on vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml. And then, select EDIT. This will return text that will look something like:
Once all changes to the file has been made, remember to click on the “Save” button in order to save the file entries.
Summing Up!
Irrespective of whether you’re running a small business or a medium-size e-commerce business, blogging frequently will help you build trust and enable you to connect with your customers. Put it simply, an online store selling products can take advantage of blog to drive more traffic to it. Moreover, by writing blog posts about your offerings and its qualities may encourage a user to access your site. If you’re using OpenCart software to build an e-commerce site, then you can choose to integrate WP blog in it. Hopefully reading this post will prove a good starting point, helping you become familiar with the integration process of WordPress blog into your OpenCart site.

Hello,
You can try adding a wordpress blog to your Muse site. You should be able to do this. There shouldn't be any issue with it's functionality (You may need to work some more on the design part - This is just in case there is some issue with the wordpress code and the code generated by Muse in the backend). Please also have a look at this related post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4825190

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

David's book is a good place to start. This is really far more involved that can be covered in this forum. You'll need to get familiar with a database, most likely MySQL, PHP, how to send requests tot he database - queries - and most likely maintain a state with Sessions. As you can see, it's a bit involved. The good news is this skills you'll acquire to do this will go a long way! It will cover all the basic requirements of web application development.

How to insert a tumbler blog into muse web site?

Hey I was wondering if you know how to insert a tumbler blog into adobe muse? I have a tumbler account but would like to use it in adobe muse. how can I add it to my blog page in muse for desktop?

Goto your Tumblr account and then view it when you're logged out ... the URL link should look something like this?:
http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com
Now copy & paste that URL link and insert it into this code snippet:
<iframe src="http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com" onLoad="calcHeight();" scrolling="YES" frameborder="0" width="660" height="950" name="resize" id="resize"></iframe>
Now copy and paste this edited snippet into the Muse page where you want your Blog ... set the correct width and height in the code (see above) to fit your page ...
Cutomize it:
I would suggest customizing your Blog with the built-in customize HTML section to tweak the embedded Blog page ... i.e. turn off some of the Tumblr sections like Header, Description, etc, if you don't want them ...
Better still go over to this Tumblr Theme site and create a nice custom theme where you can do it all yourself ...
Then after that still use the snippet code above once you have copied & pasted the new customised Tumblr HTML into you Tumblr Blog:
http://www.totallylayouts.com/tumblr-generator/
The art is to streamline your Blog as much as possible so you get the most screen estate shown in Muse, because as an inserted iFrame widget you do lose a bit ...

Integrate Tribevita template into existing site

Hi all
I am going through the pleasure of integrating a new Tribevita template into an existing site ie so the crucial sales data etc is maintained. From my research, this is a bit of work and basically it seems you are copying various parts of the new template into the current (old) site.
I gather the process of integrating a new site involves:
1. Recreate the folders, web app layouts, forms, content holders, photo galleries etc from the new template, into your existing site.
2. Change the relevant ID's in the html in the new site, so they match the ID's of those just created in step 1
3. Then.... ftp all the new template's pages, assets, css, files etc into the OLD site....and in theory you will have your new & improved website all while maintaining all that traffic and sales data.
The new template site is a reponsive site from Tribevita - Flora Design, so I don't know if that will have any issues moving across to the old site. Has anyone gone through this process and can you give me any advice on things to look out for and if the above the correct method to do this changeover.
Many thanks.
David

Hi Buzzvick - glad you messaged me as I've been meaning to let you know but couldn't find this thread.
OK it did go smoothly but here's what I learnt.
First make sure the template you bought is almost EXACTLY what you want. Ie products display the same as you want them to, search pages etc work how you want to. Find one that you would be happy to use as is just with minor changes like colours.
Create your template on a test site. Write down your login details as you will refer to it often. FTP copy this new site.
FTP copy your new site again and save it as a working file (e.g NEW SITE - Working file)
Create all logos and banners in the sizes you will need for new template.
FTP copy your old site - save it as ORIGINAL SITE and lock it in your files.
FTP copy you old site again and save it as working - use this to compare the files for when you upload the new template
FTP copy your old site once again and save it somewhere else just in case you need it!
copy your products and customers for backup
do a sync if you are using onesaas etc
I also printed all invoices from start of BC / made sure I had a foolproof backup
Create a new start page and say you are doing updates (if you are tackling it all in one day)
(I was recommended to check duplicate scripts, css, images, templates etc but I realised this would take hours / days so skipped it and bit the bullet - If i had more time I would have but as I was prepared for our site (=my site) to be offline and have customers call if problems I jumped right in).
FTP across the template to your website - I used the 'working' file and deleted files on my computer once I had uploaded them so I new what was still to be done.
Update the template and page module numbers etc (I used a script from BC Gurus that showed the module ID numbers next to it - message me if you need it).
Screenshot the NEW template (on test site) and also OLD template ID numbers (using script above) and print it out - this will save hours as easy to cross compare.
If the menus don't show - which ours weren't - RECREATE them... this took me 2 hours to work out why they weren't showing as I just duplicated them and it didn't work!!
Now change over page templates - start with unpopular pages like about us etc
Using firebug fix up any styling etc and update css.
I also removed / delete all my old styling sheets and just kept the new template one (hence your site might look a bit fuzzy so make sure you do it on a crappy sales day or with the maintenance page loaded)
- I used FTP with my new template file in one screen and current site in the other screen and deleted anything that wasn't in the new template (make sure your original site backup is on file).
Check all categories, pages etc - e.g update home page etc
Check ipad / iphone versions (I use firefox web tools that resizes screen as our new site is responsive)
Make site live (remove maintenance page)
Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
Add in all Google analytics and trackings.
Update your SEO info e.g title tags - I went page by page through my old site templates and copied any SEO or scripts I'd need and saved it in word
Recheck site again - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. Test it all again.
Recheck site again from other browsers - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
I also kept a notepad handy and highlighted all the above once done. I also wrote down anything little that needed to be changed and kept going on the above. If you start fixing little things as you go you will never finish. I employed my 90% principle - get 90% done then do the remaining little 10% once 90% is up.
And good luck! It took me from 8am Saturday morning to 5.30am the Sunday morning - so almost a good 24hours! Luckily I'd had a super early Friday night (no life that weekend!) and did it from my home office. So I'd recommend only conquering it when you can pull an all nighter so the site is done.
Hope that helps

Embedding a Blogger Blog into my Muse Site

Hi is it possible to embed a Blogger blog into my website? Or does Muse have a RSS Feed?

Thank you for posting.
Muse being a designing software, doesn't have RSS feed option. However, if you publish your site to BC, you will have the RSS feed and blog features as well. But if you want to host the site externally, you can embed blogger blog into muse site using iframe as mentioned in this doc https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/blogger-help-howdoi/Jy1sjSCTslE. You need to get the iframe code and insert it as html in your muse site.
Hope this helps.
