    If you just want to add WP as another piece of your website, you can install it in a folder on your site.

    But if you want WP to manage your whole site which has already been designed, then you will need to modify the files to copy your design.

    Let me know if you need further clarification. It sounds explanatory when I say it but when you read it, it might not be - lol

    I think your asking how to convert a html template into a wordpress theme.
    Creating a wordpress theme from a design / html template takes a little work unless your a experienced wordpress theme developer. You would need to create the at least the 4 files listed below but if you wanted to create a wordpress theme like the professionals their are a total of 13 php wordpress theme files to create.

    header.php
    sidebar.php
    footer.php
    comments.php



    There really isn't a simple way to create wordpress themes from a existing template without a magic button of some sort.

    Hmm ...............:)
    An idea for generating wordpress themes files from a html template just came to mind! I will make some notes, make a new thread and post the link here when Im finished
