    Rename index.php and page.php you have already created and then install wordpress.You could also install wordpress into subdirectory or subdomain.

    Have you tried with changing reading settings, the homepage, is static page, and the blog page is post page, in settings, and writing setting..

    I find this more easier than creating several php file..

    If you mean your entire site is already running on WordPress, Kimi is on the right lines. Create a page that you plan to use as the homepage and another called "Blog" with no content, then set these to be your home page and posts page respectively in settings > reading. The index.php template is the generic template that everything else uses when it can't find something more specific, you shouldn't be using that as a homepage template. See more about template heirarchy.

    If the rest of your site is static and you want to add on a WordPress blog, installing WP in a /blog subdirectory is probably the easiest option.

    delete everything and start over. you shouldn't be editing index.php or page.php with static content.
