adding blog to existing flash site?

  • so i’m relatively new to wordpress/blogs in general, but wish to add a blog to an existing flash site i developed, but from reading around on the site i don’t see how i can implement the blog the way i’d like to. i apologize if this is incredibly naive.

    here is a small jpg of the layout of the site:
    layout

    all i’m looking to do is have the dark gray rectangle be the blog area, and to only show the headline, date, any image i upload, and maybe a few lines of the entry with a “read more” link that would fully open the entry.

    is this possible with wordpress? any resources or help for me? thanks!

  • Hi,

    Remove the loop code in index.php file of your theme and replace with this:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<p class="postmetadata">
	<span class="metaEntry"><abbr class="published" title="<?php the_time(__('l, F jS, Y, g:i a', 'example')); ?>"><?php the_time(__('F j, Y', 'example')); ?></abbr></span><span class="delim">|</span>
	<span class="metaEntry"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span><span class="delim">|</span>
	<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<span class="metaEntry">', '</span><span class="delim">|</span>'); ?>
	<span class="metaEntry"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?></span>
</p>

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_excerpt(); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read more ?</a>
				</div>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php get_search_form(); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    now have my blog up at:
    https://cortlandareatribune.com/blog

    so i’m pretty much looking to display just the posts and maybe the archive content within that dark gray area.

    any help would be appreciated.
