Insert WordPress into page? completely new to wordpress and don’t know PHP

I know this is a complete newb issue but. I have my entire website built in xhtml and css so I don’t want a theme. All I want is a bear minimum (posts with date and category) that I can plug into my site but I cant find anything like that. As I said I don’t know php which is probably whats really holding my back. I think I’d even be ok with a theme without any menus headers and footers that I could just put in a frame. Thanks for your help
