The alternate title for this tutorial is Or How I Added a Wordpress Blog to This Website. This tutorial assumes you’re using PHP, CSS and XHTML. This tutorial is based on WordPress 2.7. This is not a tutorial about making a standard WordPress theme. It does not strictly adhere to the standards set in Designing Themes for Public Release. It is intended to seamlessly incorporate a blog into an existing website.
You’ll need to know some basics:
- how to FTP to your site;
- how to set permissions;
- your database hostname (probably localhost), the database name, your username and your password for the database; and
- some CSS and XHTML basics.
