Converting Exisitng Site to WordPress

  • Dear Community,

    I am new to WordPress and was hoping to get some tips on converting my existing site (www.villamars.com) to run on WordPress.

    I would like to generally keep the look and feel of the site the same including layouts, graphics and pages, but with the additional WordPress functionality.

    All help appreciated and thanks in advance!

    Cheers!

    Thanks so much! After working on my own site I should be able to muddle through the php basics.

    Thanks!

    Hi wrool,

    The original site is just about converted on a test site: https://www.purrcent.com

    Now I need to figure out how to show the slide show over the header.

    Right now the slide show is on the bottom of the sidebar with correct size.

    The code for the slideshow plugin is:

    <?php include (ABSPATH.’wp-content/flashfader/flashfaderhtml.txt’); ?>

    Any idea how to display the slideshow on the header image over the LCD screen the robot is holding?

    The header image is a 940×198 image and the slide show is formatted to fit in the LCD screen.

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers!

    I’m not sure if this will help you or not. I did this site a few months ago and plunked the rotating sun over the rest of the header. Perhaps you can pick thru the source / css and figure it out. ??

    I ended up using an animated gif instead of a flash movie. I still need to figure out how to edit the header so it isn’t so huge. Unfortunately my php skills are most lacking.

    All help appreciated!
