Hi, im reading up on how to simply add a "blog" page to a static site, which would list posts.
I noticed on WP's documentation (http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website) this:
it looks great but i can't find anything specific to how id need to get to know the loop and what about it i need to understand/include in web pages for this specific purpose; simply add a "blog" page to a static site, and potentially category sidebar.
i am conscious in future the blog will use plugins such as a facebook like button so i want to be able to know how to use the loop best in context to what im doing
has anyone got any useful resource links??
i realise i could just shove a blog in a subdirectory and just put a link from my site. however, alongside this, ive created a wordpress site here:
http://www.winninghealthsolutions.com/new
my developer friend has added a booking system he made in the sense of placing it in the same directory. heres the login interface:
http://www.winninghealthsolutions.co.uk/new/wp-content/themes/supercms/login.php
kinda ugly. what i want to do is add bits and pieces from existing wordpress includes etc to make this look like the wordpress site. so really, i think i do need to know what this loop thing is all about to do this.
thanks!

It is necessary to include The Loop in your pages to effectively take advantage of the multitude of Template Tags or plugins available. Familiarize yourself with The Loop and the basics of The Loop in Action to get underway with integrating the power of WordPress into your website.
I have tried to search this but i get lost in the tutorials, for example this: http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/04/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-wordpress-loop/it looks great but i can't find anything specific to how id need to get to know the loop and what about it i need to understand/include in web pages for this specific purpose; simply add a "blog" page to a static site, and potentially category sidebar.
