Blogs...

Excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong area, I probably am but I didn't know where would be best. I'm sure I'll get responses here as other sections seem to be dead...

Anyways, I'm trying to make a website where on the main page one section of the page is a blog but the rest of the page is normal design. I know very little, if anything about coding in relation to blogs. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to learning how to do this. I'd imagine its fairly simple...

Sounds like a normal blog to me. Ya familiar with Php? Then Wordpress it!
