Embed Wordpress in HTML site

Hey, I'm creating a 'Blog' page for my HTML based website and i came across a video that showed me how to embed a Wordpress blog into an HTML page using iframes which is very useful except for the fact that the guy who made the video did not even include the code...can i get a little help here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UliF...eature=related

I watched the vid and everything you need to know is there. Maybe you should watch it again.

Honestly, I am not sure that is the best way to do it. I would prefer linking to my WordPress install from the HTML page. Frames don't play well with search engines.

Tank you, but also he said that he would include the code which was not there and his iframe code from what I have seen is not like this one "<IFRAME src=”http://fullcirclewebmedia.com/blog/ NAME=”right” HEIGHT=”100%” FRAMEBORDER=”0″ width=”100%”>"

But Going back to alternative methods, how would I link my Wordpress instal to the 1 HTML page?

Install the WP at site.com/blog (or any other name you want to use) Then link to it as:

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href=site.com/blog/>Whatever text you want</a>

This will load the index.php page of the WP install.

That was my first approach to it but then i figured out that i wanted to have my blog page look like the rest of my website, so i decided to just integrate the page inside of blog.html page using iframes instead of linking the "Blog" tab on my navigation bar to an external site. On a side note i have already installed the '/blog' folder with wordpress onto my web server.

I am exhausted after a very physical day but my there is something buzzing in my brain that says there is a real simple way to do this; I just can't pull it out right now.

Well if you get something please let me know, i will give the video another look and see if I'm missing any details...granted the fact that it is short ill see if i can find anything essential to what I'm trying to accomplish but my sources seem limited.

Post here without the www part or if you prefer privacy PM me your actual URLs for your home page and the index page of your blog as I don't have a working install of WP to play with.
