how to add WP blog to HTML website?

  • Hey guys, I have a charity website here:

    https://silent-angels.net/index.html

    and wish to add a sort of “archives” page where new visitors to the site can see past causes we’ve helped, their stories and how we were able to help them, I am thinking of something like this:

    https://www.wishuponahero.com/browsewish/?sort=all

    I am being told that is a “blog”, I have never participated in a blog so i don’t know anything much about it, can anyone tell me if the 2nd link above is indeed a blog? If YES then how do I implement that into my site in the first link above? Thanks

    Ok, so I am guessing the link is indeed a blog? If yes, would I get the WP blog to look just like that in the link please?

    The site https://www.wishuponahero.com/ might be a blog, but it’s not Drupal and it’s not WordPress.

    Thanks for the info, is there any way I can use WP to have the same look and features of that page in the site please?

    You can use wordpress to do similar, yes. Its not difficult to install wordpress, all you would do is create a subdirectory, install wordpress into it and you’re most of the way there.

    Then you create a theme, or find a theme, which suits your website. To allow people to post in the same way as the wish upon a hero site you could simply set everyone as a contributor on sign up. Simply done. However the more you want the user to be able to do the more complicated things get and you may need to start finding, buying or even self-creating plugins to manage what you want.

    Bare bones wise though, what you want is doable.

    That’s what confusing me about the blog issue, I don’t need anyone to post anything, I simply need to create an archive like on that site so newcomers can see who we have helped and how we were able to help each cause and their story?

    Oh in that case, you can simply set up the blog exactly how wordpress walks you through as a vanilla install, then disbale comments, even disable signing up if you wish.

    Then the users you want, so people who work for you etc, or simply only yourself can post and people will be able to view your posts in the same manner as wish upon a hero. You may need to tweak your theme and settings to get it how you want though.

    Sorry, wish upon a hero seems to let indiviuals post up, hence the confusion (or at least, looks that way to me).

    Ok, I have setup WP within my Godaddy account so the url will read “silent-angels/blog”, what I wish to do is to create another Navigation tab in the Nav bar and title it “Wishes Granted”, this means I will have to create another HTML page for that but what I will need to know is how to link that page to the WP blog please?

    Or if using a Nav tab for this in the Nav bar will not work then please tell me how best to link to the blog page from within the Main site’s Home page?
