    Hi Folks,
    I have a current homepage to my website. I've just set up database-based blog and I'm looking to integrate the blog into the homepage of my website - i.e. keeping the site's current css etc.

    Any ideas on how to do this?

    Cheers,
    S.

    The blog is probably php and has its own CSS. Best you could do is apply the same colours and graphics etc. You will probably have to edit both the PHP files and the CSS sheets if they are separate.

    Aye, they're seperate. So do you think it's just a matter of applying the website's css file to the new blog index php file?

    Not sure if what I have to say here will help, but I actually did the opposite: used (most of) the blog CSS for my homepage/non-blog html files. I used a provider who supported Wordpress (a blog plug-in), and just took whatever CSS code I wanted from the blog and created a second CSS file. I also used the blog "images" for my other html pages.

    But I didn't have to hack into the PHP side, cos my non-blog html is all static (it was all I needed). I haven't much experience with PHP, so I'm not sure how to do exactly what you want.

    No. The blog reads in DIV tags amoungest other things from the CSS file, if the DIV tags on the CSS file don't match then the layout will be ****ered
