  I am new to Blogs. I do have an own web site already. I would like to add a blog to this web site but if possible would like to avoid coding. Can I integrate a WordPress Blog into my existing Web Site, without coding everything? I am good to copy / paste code, including plug-ins etc.

  I am sure the answer is there already. If you just can point me to an article describing the topic? Thanks.

  Hi there. The only way to do this with WordPress.com is to create a WordPress.com blog and then map it on a subdomain of your website. Your blog will be hosted on WordPress.com, but it will appear on a subdomain of your self-hosted site, e.g. blog.yourdomain.com. See here for instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  To find out what is possible with purely your own self-hosted domain, i.e. not using WordPress.com, you need to post in the WordPress.org forum: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

  This support forum is only for free WordPress.com blogs. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
