title: Using WordPress to control one page (blog/news feed) on website
body: <h2>A Little Information</h2>
  <p>I have built a bespoke website that has nothing to do with wordpress, the root directory looks something like this:</p>
  <pre><code>domain.com/            // index.php
  domain.com/about/      // about.php
  domain.com/contact/    // contact.php
  domain.com/news/       // news.php
  etc...
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, I would like to use WordPress to control the content on one page within the site (<code>domain.com/news</code>) whilst keeping the current website design on this page.</p>
  <p>I have started by installing WordPress to a sub-directory here <code>domain.com/_wp/</code>. I am not too sure where to go next...</p>
  <p>I do not want WordPress to have anything to do with the pages on my site, apart from the <code>domain.com/news</code> page, but as I am unfamiliar with WordPress, I do not have any idea how to do this.</p>
  <p>I have looked around the web at particular forums, but none of them really make sense to me:</p>

  </ol>
  <h2>My Question(s)</h2>
  <p>I will write the code to retrieve the 'News Feeds' from the WordPress database on the <code>domain.com/news/</code>, but in the meantime I would like to know the following:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>At the moment, there are a lot of sections in WordPress that I don't need, like 'Pages' etc. How can I strip WordPress down to include only the <strong>Blog Editing</strong> tools?</li>
  <li>What section should I be using to add posts to my 'News Feed'? I assume I should be uisng the 'Posts' section but I just want confirmation :-)</li>
  <li>WordPress has applied one of its themes to the site in the Appearance tab, should I just be ignoring this? Should I also be ignoring Widgets and menus etc as they have nothing to do with the content being posted?</li>
  </ol>
  <p><em><strong>I apologize for all of the above questions, WordPress is a little more complicated than I originally thought it would be. I have tried to solve all of the above myself, but sadly have not had any success, and I hope all I need now is just a pointing in the right direction</strong></em></p>
