I want my newly created wordpress blog to look the same as my website, i.e. same css

 

Also, want it on my own domian http://www.emmasmyth.com/blog.html or something along those lines

 

Ideas welcome

Look for theme editor (think that's what it;s called) in your WP admin. Inside there you'll find a CSS file and other template files - edit to your hearts content

 

If you want WP on your own domain go to wordpress.org , download the latest version and install.

Great advice there, thanks

Emma, easiest thing to do would be to create a new theme based on your site's existing layout, install WordPress in the root directory (i.e. http://www.emmasmyth.com) and then manage your whole website with it.

 

For existing pages you can make 301 redirects in your .htaccess file to redirect your various pages to the new ones on your WordPress installation so at least users won't get 404 not found errors and Googlebot will be happy.
