How can I import EE data (for example, blog entries) into a site that does not have EE?
I’m wanting to combine my new EE site with an old site and I’d like to display my blog entries on my old site.
Any ideas?

You could always just build the entire site WITH expression engine, and convert over your old content as EE content.
I found long ago, that it was too troublesome to attempt to ‘mesh’ my old site with my new site concepts.

You could make an RSS-feed of your entries and import or syndicate it on the other page. You could build a simple template that outputs your entries in csv-format or pretty much everything else.
Depends on what you need on the other site.

Easy (and ugly) way would be to make new template in your EE site, that look like your old site. Then use iFrame to show that content on your old site. It depends of what kind of data you have, if iFrame works nice.
iFrame (if you are not familiar already) works like this:
<iframe width=“100%” height=“100%”<br />
src =“http://www.newsite.com/index.php/to-old-site/”><br />
</iframe>
