    Hey guys, haven't been here in a while, but I figured if anyone could answer this it would be you.

    I'm starting up a website off of a dreamweaver template (I know, I know, but it's my only option right now). I'd like to have a blog on the site but I'd like it to be built into the homepage.

    I've read about ways to export blogs to your site, but I want this built in to the homepage such that all my top-bar navigation is still there, and the look is identical, etc. Is this achievable?

    So does that mean there's no software that's actually intended for this use?

    You can use Wordpress for the blog, and change it so it looks like your Dreamweaver template.
