Hi All.
A client currently has a wordpress blog - heaps of articles, each article with a heap of comments, subscribers etc.
I'm building a new website using CMSB, and was hoping to incorporate the blog in the website - but having never used wordpress before I've got no idea what's possible.
I could easily have a "click here for the blog" but would rather it be seemless into the new site... just another navigation item.
Would it be best to link, integrate or rebuild this?
Any ideas?

Hi Tim,
You can definitely have a link that would just link to the blog page in your navigation. The problem is that it is probably using a template that looks different from your new design. The biggest problem with WordPress that I find is they are pretty restrictive with what you can do with templates.
Another option would be to have a page with your template that uses an iframe to bring in the wordpress blog page.
Of course the most consistent solution would be to import all of the current wordpress data into CMS Builder, then use CMS Builder to power the blog.
Hope this helps get you started

Along those lines, if you decide to move to CMSB entirely, a fairly easy way to get your data out of Wordpress if you won't want to just pull from their database, is to use SquareSpace.com. Even their free 2 week trial allows you to import your data from Wordpress, Blogger or Drupal sites. SquareSpace then permits you to easily dump that data to your desktop in a pretty clean SQL format. That's a great step towards bringing your content into CMSBuilder.
