I basically followed this site to do the #2 thing.

The problem is that I don't want to have to deal with the theme script and all of that when I can do html and css perfectly well. Not dissing on PHP, I just simply don't have that much of a control over the wordpress theme script as I would like in term of comprehending how it all work together.
Here is my blog script
Code:
<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=15');
?>
