[Question] Is this possible with wordpress?

[JD]

Hey guys,

Although I work with Wordpress all the time I've never really found out if it's possible to only use their posting system. I'm not a webdeveloper at all so I'm having a hard time trying to create my own blogging system (Using a book, it helps but it's still very slow). This also means that I have no clue how to make a wordpress theme (and I'm not eager to learn how to create one either) so I figured I'd just take their entire system and only use it for the blog part of my site.

My site currently looks like THIS
As you can see it has a blogging system, it works but it's ugly and to modify it/make posts I need to manually insert stuff into the database (eww...)
So, do any of you know how to use Wordpress' blogging system on only a part of your website? (I figured require would work but I dunno...)

Greets,
JD

Have one link direct to the (skinned) wordpress blog and have static HTML pages (or PHP scripted ones, whichever you prefer) on the others? This would, of course, require you to skin the Wordpress blog accordingly;

This will work.
The require should be pointing to your wordpress folder

<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_date(); echo "<br />"; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>    
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> 
<?php
endforeach;
?>
