Website with Integral Blog and Shop

[Troutbakker]

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to create a site that contains a blog and shop within it.
The thing is, I'm a graphic designer, not a programmer so I'm trying to do as little coding as possible!
I was thinking of using oscommerce for the shop and maybe wordpress for the blog, so my questions are as follows:

1). Can I use wordpress to host my blog and website as some people seem to do? ie. cast-on.com and if so is it possible to place oscommerce in there somehow too?

2). Or would I have to code the whole site myself, starting off with the basics (about, contact etc pages) then writing a blog 'module' and shop module to go inside it, hosted at the same place?

Apologies if that all sounds silly and a bit green, but as I say I'm new to coding and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

This is the best you will get for an integrated shop.
Wp-eCommerce Plugin

I haven't found an easy way to integrate os-commerce or zen cart into wordpress. If you want to use one of those you would basically have to create a seperate install of WP and say Os Commerce and then design them to look the same. But the shop won't actually be integrated.
