Two things, the first being the more favorable choice.

1. Is it possible to integrate Wordpress into a site like this?

2. How could I create a custom news system like this? I searched the tutorials but found no tutorial that gave information on how to make categories and the such.

1. Yes you can I have done it many times....just change the template to look like a site :ph34r:
If you want to make it part of an existing site then you'll need to study the php :)

2. You are kidding right? There a thousands of news CMS tutorials, just read a few and customise it :ph34r:

1. Which is easier... changing the wordpress template or making it a part of the site?

2. Even with categories?

You customize the tutorial to add categories, it's as easy as adding an extra field in your table.

Which is easier? Well Wordpress has a feature called The Loop which can be used to integrate it into the site. See how to use the loop or do a Google Search for more information :ph34r:

Incredible. You must think I'm quite a lazy bum, right? Well it's that and it's also that I'm a PHP newb.

On second note...

Under "Using the Loop", what is the name of the file I should be looking at? And what would it look like in 2.0?
