I currently have a Magento store where I’m using a CMS page as the homepage. I want to integrate my wordpress blog (hosted on the same server) into this CMS page. It would show the latest blog post and preferably have the comment function available on the front page. The first thing I considered was using the WordPress Loop on the Magento CMS page, but it doesn’t seem like it allows PHP.

One other thought I had was to create the homepage using modules or blocks. To be honest, I’ve never created a module or block so I’m not all that familiar with what is involved. The CMS page that I had created is simply an image slider/carousel (nivo-slider) and some photos with links. None of the content actually needs to be done with CMS, it just needs to be presented within my Magento theme/framework. All homepage updates will be handled by myself, so I can bypass the CMS system all together and just update modules if it turns out that the modules solution will allow me to have both the WordPress blog and nivo-slider on the same page.

Any thoughts?

    I found the solution at Part 2 of the following link:

    Here’s a quick summary of the steps (for a full explanation, click the link above):

    1) Create a bare-bones WordPress theme file that skips all of the styles, header, and footer and just displays content.

    2) Create a page in WordPress that uses your new bare-bones template.

    3) Create a template file in Magento to embed your newly created WordPress page into a Magento page.

    4) Place the block based on your new template on the Magento CMS page you want the blog content to display on
