  Hi All,
  My web guy told me I should “turn” my website into a wordpress site so
  I can edit & update it myself. How do I do it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JAMPRODZ

  Take a look at this support document which explains how to do it.

  Basically you would create pages and the probably have to copy and paste from your existing website into the pages here. Make sure and use the “paste as plain text button on the lower toolbar (row 2, icon 5) so that any code that might mess things up is stripped out. I expect there might be some reformatting to be done, but it won’t be that much of a hassle.

  The other option of course is to do the same thing with the software from wordpress.ORG on a third-party hosting service (most likely like the one you are using now). The general procedure would be the same.
