Question for all the coders on here:

What is your preferred way to link a custom HTML site with a wordpress (or other) blog for easy client use?

I have been coding up some great sites but am having issues linking a blog section that is easy for the customer to use. I don't want to switch to 100% wordpress since I can offer a much better service with custom HTML.

At the moment I am making a separate sub directory 'blog'. I upload all of the wordpress files into directory and install WordPress on it. I'm having some small issues with it running 100% but I will figure those out shortly.

Anyone else do this kind of site frequently?

You can have the same main menu on the main website and the blog.

That way the user can go between the two as if it was a single website.

I tried other solutions in the past, like iframes or a blog link opening in the new tab, but they felt clumsy and not user friendly.

Not sure if this will help... You may get issues if you do not tell WP that the correct domain is be www.site.com/blog. This may also cause issues where WP will look to root site domain when creating new pages e.g www.site.com/blog/about will become www.site.com/about (wrong url). So when you link to them it may throw an error and do something weird. You're best bet, to be safe with wordpress, would be to create a sub domain e.g blog.site.com and host your files there. I don't have massive amounts of Wordpress knowledge but assume this may happen.
