I don’t know if this is the place to put this particular question, or if I should just start a new topic, but here it goes.
I’m currently working on my own website, independent of WP, but I thought it would be good to add a blog section to my website, and WP seems like a really good one. I installed WP on my own personal web server, and I intend to transfer over my code to a godaddy site once I’ve got all my code squared away, since GoDaddy has WP as part of its domain hosting package.
Looking at the features in WP, I like what I can do with it, but I’m wondering how best to use what I have (and the design I already have) and WP.
Here are my thoughts:
- Abandon my web code as I have written it. Instead, create an entire theme around my original design, and use WP’s code as my code base for my website entirely, extending it through the theme as I need to.
- Keep my web code, and integrate my code with WP’s DB, using WP as my blog editor only.
- Develop a simpler theme to mimic the look of my website’s design, and integrate my code with WP’s wherever I can, so that the two are indistinguishable, and work side by side.
None of these options seem too good to me, but I think the last one might work best for me. But do you good folks have any ideas?
