Seamless Embedding of WordPress Blog into External Website
-
I keep searching for this info because I know it was here before but nothing’s coming up when I search for embedding wordpress. I have a website hosted elsewhere by godaddy. I want to incorporate my wordpress. I’ve already gone through the process of installing wordpress on my hosting account.
However, I don’t see how to get WordPress to display like it’s embedded on a single HTML page so that when people click “blog”, it opens seamlessly to the entries just like every other page on my site.
I do not want to have to style WordPress so that it mimics my site and I don’t want it on a subdomain or pointing to its own folder and I do not want to create my website with WordPress. I just want to keep my website as is but embed the WordPress posts themselves as if I had an iframe pointing to the wordpress site only I don’t want to use frames.
Is this possible?

You are posting to the wrong support forum. WordPress.com blogs are all free hosted on this blogging platform. We do not provide support for your website here. For wordpress.org support post here http://wordpress.org/support/

No, I’m looking to embed my existing wordpress.com blog in my website since I can’t find out how to get the installed hosted version to display. Are you saying wordpress doesn’t have a way for you to do that with your wordpress.com blog? If so then I’ll have to use the installed version and go to the other site.

What I mean is that plenty of websites that are standalone like tumblr or twitter have widgets or a line of code you can add to your website to display your posts seamlessly in a webpage on your site. Does wordpress.com have something like that or is the only way to display your wordpress blog posts on another site to install the wordpress software on your server?

No. You can use iframes on a web hosted WordPress.org install but iframes are ugly as all get out.
We do not provide support for installing the capacity on your website to draw the RSS feed from your blog but every wordpress blog has an RSS feed for comments and for posts (entries). If you have a wordpress.org install then on your webiste you will have to write something in PHP or javascript to do that. Here are a couple options:

Links in the navbar in both places could do the trick, but unless you are using the same theme in both places, it will hardly be seamless.
If you’ve already installed the WordPress standalone software on your self-hosted site, why not make friends with the folks over at http://wordpress.org/support/ and take advantage of the full-featured software.

Oh I think feed is what I mean. Do wordpress.com blogs have an automatic RSS feed that could be embedded into another site?

All WordPress.com sites have a feed http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/ but to integrate it with your self-hosted site (if it is using the WordPress software), you’ll have to head on over to http://wordpress.org/support/

Thanks all! I know the difference between the two. I just thought wordpress.com would have a native way to embed the posts into other sites like a code or widget you could copy and paste.
I wanted to do that so I could just keep my blog on wordpress.com but also display the posts on my site rather than the trouble of installing the software on my server and having to maintain everything myself on there especially because it still didn’t resolve the issue of what I was trying to do with it.
Using the feed will work though because I do have a code for displaying external blog feeds and that should do the trick.
