For many reasons WordPress is one of the best blogging platforms on the internet, because of the great functionalities offered by WordPress, If you
are having a static html site and for any reason now want to run the entire site urder WordPress to get your site a dynamic Blogging look there are many options availabe to do so, but if you want to convert the site from static html or php to wordpress without being troubled or pressured this is the best option I found which have been mentioned below.
Create a folder ( for example here you have created a folder as wordpress) on on your root domain to store the wordpress installation, This gives you a specific area to work and learn WordPress without touching with your original design of your site
Select a wordpress theme at your choice, there are many free wordpress themes available, you can choose any one of them
Once your theme is ready you can copy and paste your orginal content to the newly installed matching EXACTLY with the same page names
And to keep html or php or xml extn on all Pages but not in POSTs, you need to install a wordpress plugin, so that while creating pages it will take the desired extn with post name.
Once this development is over, it is really easy to change the blog/site URl in WordPress to show the newly updated in the root itself.
