    help question Integrating pre-existing wordpress?

    I have been running a blog for some time now on my site, http://marginallyclever.com/
    I've recently added the zencart store and I'd like to integrate the blog into the main page of the store, a bit like http://adafruit.com
    Should I "pull" the sidebars into wordpress or should I pull the wordpress blog into the main page of zencart?
    Not sure the best way to go about this. Trying to think ahead about ease of upgrading both systems.

    Thanks!

    There are a couple of 3rd party plugins - not sure if they were successful or not

    I agree with picandnix - I've used numinix's method several times.

    "So firstly, this tutorial assumes you have one the following setups:

    Situation 1

    Zen Cart installed to the root
    WordPress installed to a sub-folder such as /blog/

    We’ve also achieved the following situation:

    Situation 2

    Zen Cart installed to a sub-folder such as /shop/
    WordPress installed to a sub-folder such as /blog/"

    Neither of these applies to me. Wordpress is in ./ and zen cart is in ./shop I tried to follow the steps and broke my dev server.

    Ok, I set up a server @ http://test.reverb-marketing.com/ wherein I put ./blog/, ./shop/, and ./forum/. I copied over all the existing code and databases, so everything functioned the same. I followed the steps in the NUMINIX doc. I'm not seeing my blog on the homepage of my shop. What have I missed? Sorry for being so dumb.
