To change the template you log in. Click themes. Then you will see the pictures of the themes you have then you just change it to that.
If you want more themes you can go here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/Theme_List If you want to create your own theme you should read: http://liberta.reminiscelane.com/visitors/...sing-wordpress/ |

It depends. You have three choices to get wordpress on your site..
1) You make your normal html page. Then you use an iframe to link wordpress in. But either way you still have to clean out the wordpress templare and customize your blog. 2) You can create your whole site in wordpress. Using the tutorial I gave you above. 3) You can use the tutorial I gave above to make your main page or your blog page. Then the rest of your pages can be regular html or php pages , however you already did it. |

No. First you need to choose a theme. I suggest classic. Delete the sidebar. Then you need to input the colors etc to match your layout in the css.
Then follow this: http://pixelfx.org/tuts/html/iframes.html |

Yes the wordpress sidebar. You said you wanted the iframe. That means that you will have your regular site with a blog in it. You put the iframe code in your regular html.
I highly suggest you learn on your own because well if you don't no ones going to be there everytime you need to do it. |

No. Leave the database alone. If you take wordpress off your database it will not work at all. You're confused. You do not touch a thing with the wordpress files.
All you do to clean out the templare is go to theme > theme editor. That is where you take out the sidebar code and click save. That is also where you edit the css to match yours, and edit what you need too. Then you follow the iframe tutorial to link it on your page. You should not be touching the folders, etc at all. |

Thats the css. I know. You need to edit it with your colors. You can put your own css in there, but if it doesn't work correctly you need to add that. If you add your own make sure there are no style tags.
Now if do you or do you not see asubmit button in your templates? If not you need to open ftp and chmod some stuff. (I'll give you a tutorial on it) |

Wordpress should already be in a folder. If its not you may want to re-install it and then put it in a folder then.
Usually its not installed directly in the public html folder. If its already in a foler you can try renaming it. No matter what you need an iframe and you need to edit the css. Or else your layout will look bad. ![]() |

I don't suggest it just in case their are files that are already set to that folder. So I would say no but if you want to try I'm not stopping you.
As I mentioned above you go to theme > theme editor. Edit the css colors etc. Then click save.. |
