    Thank you
    How and where are you entering the HTML code?

    As there are many HTML pages on a wordpress blog
    -index.php
    -sidebar.php
    -admin-header.php
    etc

    You gotta be changing the right page,

    that's because you need to include the WordPress PHP loops into your template...you basiclly have to create your own theme out of your template...it's not quite as easy as cutting and pasting...because there's about a dozen or so PHP files that make up a WordPress theme

    here's a really good tutorial:

      The standard Wordpress WYSIWYG will strip out almost all HTML tags.

      You can get a little more control over it by installing the Tiny MCE plugin, which will allow you to have a little more control over it. In the plugin settings, there is an option to not strip the paragraph and break tags and you can use classes.

      What I usually do is use a separate page template for the sales page with a unique content area class. Then I style the h1 to h6 tags for different formats (red bold center, bold and highlighted, etc.)

        That's an excellent first step!

        Next, you will want to have different header and footer for your sales page... and you have a different header then you can include another stylesheet and so on.

        Even the "next step" is simple if you know how to do it.

    An easy way to get around this is to try the Word insert tool.

    In the toolbar you will see a T and a W . Use the w and paste your content in here. Not the HTML but the readable content.

    You may have to do a bit of tweaking but usually will bring in most formating.

      Thank you so much. The "w" function on wordpress definitely helped, although I will have to tweak the html. What is the "T" function for?

    You need to first great a page template for Wordpress by copying and paste some codes from header.php and footer.php from your existing wordpress themes then you also include the loop code in your newly created page template.

    The final step would be copy and paste the your HTML code in to the newly created page template..

    It involves some steps to do that. I can give you some free wordpress sales templates if you like.

    I am still confused on this issue. Someone gave me a "template" to use an opt-in page on my site. It is an html page. On my wordpress site- I have a blank template I preloaded on my server and use for a number of my website pages. However, the CSS design takes over the formatting of my html opt-in page. How can I put this html page on my wordpress site? I have set up my wordpress site with several templates and the preexisting templates interfere with this simple html page whose formatting I want to preserve? Please tell a newbie how to do this?

    Do a search for "wordpress loop tutorial" or something like that.

    Here's one good result I found:

    The Ultimate Guide to the WordPress Loop | Theme Lab

    If that doesn't make any sense to you (I have no idea of your coding ability), then pony up for FrankHaywood's Wordpress Affiliate Pages. It will go through how to do it step-by-step.

    Once you know how to do it, that report will seem a little bit too expensive, but it might be worth it in the time and frustration you save yourself.

    Hope that's what you're looking for.

    I am not a coder, at all, but wouldn't it be easier to just host this html page on the same server adjacent to your WP blog, and use hyperlinks to go back and forth?
