no…it should fit the iframe completely without a horizontal scrollbar. and the scrollbar should be black…AND the text should be justified. none of which are actually happening. but you can’t see it now because my site’s gone down for some reason..

okay, I’ve done that. now my wordpress is part of my website, but now I have a problem. I used your “Ultrasimple” theme as a base for my theme, changing it to suit my layout, but now I have a problem. for some reason, the scrollbar CSS isn’t showing up, and I can’t get the text to fit in my iframe: it goes over. I’ve tried using a div to make it smaller, which has absolutely no effect, so I’ve tried using CSS and a div by using a “class”, but it’s still not working. the URL is https://mouse.arab-quest.net and click on “Journal” to see the wordpress. can you see the problem? any suggestions on fixing it?

Okay, but how can I do this if my website is in a directory? Because it is…

okay, so now I have index.php with my layout, and supposedly home.php with my blog on it. only problem now is that when I go to index.php it takes me to home.php. so now I only have what should be IN the iframe on my layout page.

also, when I do try to do something, I get this problem:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_get_archives() in /home/…/blog.php on line 5

but wordpress sees index.php as the homepage for the blog, doesn’t it? so how can I get my blog on home.php?

okay, thanks for the help but I’ve gotten nowhere. I guess I’m going to have to explain myself more clearly.

what I have is a layout that I’ve made myself which is made with IFrames. now this would be index.php. there are two pages here: the index.php page that has the actual layout on, and then the blog page which would be in the iframe but have to follow the style of the rest of the layout. so that would probably have to be a theme in itself, but the problem is, that would want to be index.php too. now how would I get that to be the page inside the iframe?

yes, I know how to use iframes. I know I would put the blogurl in the SRC bit of the iframe code, but if the blog AND the layout page are both called index.php, that wouldn’t work. therefore, using the code

<IFRAME SRC=”theurlofyourblog” TITLE=”My Blog”>
</IFRAME>

wouldn’t work, because it would look like this:

index.php:
<IFRAME SRC=”index.php” TITLE=”My Blog”>
</IFRAME>

…and you’d probably end up with a LOT of iframes.

so if I need to use “the Loop” for this, can somebody please explain what I have to do? because I have no idea what it wants me to do and when I have tried, it hasn’t worked. all I want is my blog (posts – I wouldn’t have any other things) in the style of the rest of the layout inside my layout on index.php.
