WordPress in ProductCart site

Hello,

So I am new to 'blogs', and am looking how to setup .php-based wordpress into a ProductCart site.

In my searching on how to integrate Wordpress into an existing website, it looks as though you have to convert the actual blog page to .php to get it to work, however I have seen Productcart stores that are running wordpress blogs.  I've searched both google and this site on 'productcart wordpress' and the results have been minimal.  I have come across the product blog widget in the EI wiki, but it looks as if this is built for blogs already setup.

I already have the Wordpress software installed and activated on the server, and currently resides at domain.com/blog (/blog subdirectory).

Ideally, I would like to have the blog appear between the header/footer.asp files on the blog page. 

If somebody could point me in the right direction that would be great,
thank you

WordPress uses a template system that is quite a bit different than ProductCart. It is not possible to use the same header and footer. You could make a template that looks just like your store.  Else you could use one of the many free templates available online and just swap out the logo with your store's logo.  There are tutorials online about making WordPress templates.  After that, you just need to link to your blog from your store's navigation menu. 

Greg at Greybeard Design integrated our WP blog seamlessly with our PC website.  If you need help, I would give him a look.

Yes, Greg and I are both very adept at this. Joe is looking to learn this skill himself as a designer.

Go, Joe! I know you can do it, and once you nail one you'll have an excellent new service to offer to your clients.

PS: There are a few issues with running WordPress on a windows server. See my blog for more info on that.

Joe, it's not possible.

ProductCart is classic ASP. Word Press is PHP. So, just look at the file extensions on your web site you are working on. When you see ".asp" that can't run PHP at the same time. Then go look at WP files: they are all .php, so you can't run ASP on them.

What you can do to communicate between them is use RSS feeds and/or some other options that can read/grab content.

As for themes, if you were a CSS genius extraordinaire, then maybe you could create the style sheet that would handle both PC and WP gracefully, but that is a lofty goal.
