Wordpress Themes
If you have installed Wordpress and you're wondering how to integrate it into your current layout, you'll have to follow these steps carefully. Your site must already be in php or you can read my php includes tutorial to convert it.
First, download themefiles.zip and extract the index.php and comments.php. Open up your ftp client and go into the directory that you have installed wordpress into. Go to wp-content/themes and create a new folder - name it whatever you want but usually I put my site name or layout name there. Upload the index.php and comments.php you extracted earlier along with your footer.php layout file.
Open your layout's header file (header.php). Copy the lines of code from themes.txt and paste them below your meta tags. If you don't have meta tags then paste it below your title tags (<title>page title</title>)
Save your header.php file and upload that to the same theme directory as the index, comments and footer. Now go to http://yoursite/wp/wp-admin, login and click on the 'Presentation' tab. Select the theme you have just created to activate it.
Finally, check at http://yoursite.com/wp and your wordpress should be showing a test blog within your main content box/div.
