  I have a site – http://www.trans-americas.com – and I am looking to take one of my existing sections (pages) and making it a WordPress blog. I have WordPress installed on my server, but now I’m a bit overwhelmed by integrating it into the site with my existing site design. I am not a coder, the site was designed/coded by someone else, I am only capable of basic changes in Dreamweaver.

  Looking through the WordPress documentation it discusses adding a header, changing color…. I’m not sure how that will integrate it with a seemless look with my existing (CSS based) site. Is it possible to ‘drop’ WordPress into an existing, already designed and integrated page? If so is there a somewhat accessible tutorial out there to help guide me through the steps.

  Thanks
  Eric
