Hi all - A client has an old Dreamweaver website with a WordPress blog. We
want to make it an all Wordpress site by replacing the old Dreamweaver
content with Wordpress pages.

The issue I'm running into is that the blog lives at
www.clientsite.com/blog. I want to add the new Wordpress pages to the root
at www.clientwebsite.com. Can I just install Wordpress in the root folder
and leave the /blog folder intact? Any ideas or resources that you can
point me to are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Susan,

There are several ways you could go about this.  If you decide to install
WordPress in the root folder and leave the /blog folder intact, you'll
probably end up with two separate instances of WordPress with separate
logins, etc.  The best solution would most likely be to move the entire
WordPress installation and then assign a WordPress page for your website's
front page and also for the blog section (with a slug of /blog).  That way,
the blog section would appear that it had never moved at all and the new
WordPress-powered homepage, secondary pages, etc. will all start in the
site root.

Here are a couple articles describing how you can do this:

   - Moving

   - Creating a Static Front

Hopefully that helps!
