Is It Possible To Add A Normal HTML Page To My Wordpress Blog Site?

    Hi there,

    I've got a blog running on Wordpress which has its own theme etc, whenever I make a post it will automatically display Adsense and anything else I've got set-up on the blog.

    What I want to do is to add a HTML page to the site, which won't be formatted like any of my blog posts, and so which won't automatically have Adsense inserted etc. I was just wondering if this is possible, and if so, how? Do I simply upload a HTML file to the root directory via FTP?

    The blog is at http://www.footyblog.net and I was hoping that the page would be available like this: http://www.footyblog.net/mynewpage.html

    (I want to add a page like this so I can run a Adwords campaign using the new page instead of having to use a blog post - hoping that the new page would have some authority and help to lower my costs).



    Thanks for any help

    Thanks sakto, but why do you say that I should use a different template? Is it better then just making a new html page?

    Yeah, just upload an HTML file and create a link to it so the searchengines can find it (and a link back to Wordpress). You have to manually add it to your sitemap, I'm not sure how to add it to the xml map. You can also use one as your homepage, just name it index.html, it'll override the wordpress homepage. But, you'll need to create a link to the Wordpress "website".

    You could design a site using Artiseer and export it for HTML and as a Wordpress theme. Then it should all work seemlessly without much change in the layout or navigation!

    Of course you can create any static html page on your server. Link to it from wordpress pages, posts or otherwise.
