wp gives u advantage of using seo friendly url for pages
 
to get seo friendly url structure see here
 
and wht u mean they wont be indexed by search engines? they wud look like normal html pages only difference being they are shown dynamically pulled from database contents staying same?

I have designed and built a standard static website in HTML and CSS in DW. So far its pages consist of index.html, about.html and contact.html.
 
FINALLY; to integrate a blog into the static site I have successfully modified a default WordPress theme to match the style of my static site.
 
Here's were I'm stuck. What steps do I now need to make to get both sites working seamlessly side by side. (FYI; Due to a few problems with my 1&1 host which I am currently in the process of changing I have installed a local set up using MAMP).
 
1. How do I set up the folders.
-MAMP (folder)
-htdocs (folder)
-MySite (folder)
-index.html
-about.html
-contact.html
-blog (folder)
-index.php
-etc
-etc
 
2. How do I ensure that the landing page for my website is the actual homepage I created under index.html and not the blog page index.php?
 
3. Also, is there any way to unify the URL's so they wont be showing up differently. e.g www.mysite.co.uk/about.html and www.mysite.co.uk/blog/. Basically, do I have to somehow convert my html files into WP pages?
 
Everything just looks a bit messy to me at the minute, I hope I have given a clear idea of what my problems are and I hope you understand what I mean. This is all from a beginners perspective and the first time I have tried to integrate a blog!
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this long post!
