Blogging Website

[JackT06]

Im looking into adding a blogging section onto my current website. Does anyone know of a good way to do this??

Can you register with a blog website and put a code on your website, so you can do it on-line and it updates your website??

If so, Who is the best people to provide this service.


Thanks

Personally, I use Rapidweaver. The software has an integrated blog page
that you simply drag and drop into your site. Then just input the labels and
mess with the style, add CSS and your done. Really easy to use, and supports blog comments. I was using iWEB for a little while, but I found the RW interface to be more powerful and easier to use. It does have irritating
quirks, but I have been using it for a few weeks now. Check my site out
in my sig. Also really easy to add photo galleries and file pages etc.

Ohh adding to your _current_ site. Hrmm.. if thats the case I would just sign up for one of the current free blog
providers and just link to it from your main page. Providing a link back on your blog site too.
Or you could find a PHP based software. Might have to buy it.

If designing from the ground up, try RW.

WordPress is quite popular and easy to setup and integrate into an existing site.

Wordpress is awesome too. Try it!

IMHO you can't go wrong with it, or wordpress. All I do is load rapidweaver whenever I need to write a blog, click on the "+" button on my blogpage and write it, embed whatever code I want (if you place pictures or embed video etc make sure you click on the menu and click on ignore formatting for theat highlighted section), then just click publish and I am done. It supports RSS feeds and all those other neat features. Wordpress does all this too, it's just I downloaded rw first : )

The rapidweaver forums are the place to go, go read all you can and you'll have it set up just nicely. Did you check mine out yet?

No problem, message me if you have any questions. I just prefer having my own software to blog with rather than relying on someone's service. I also am intending to buy my own domain this year so I wanted the transition to be painless.

I would recommend wordpress and also a little program called artisteer.

Have both, use both and like both.

Nothing even comes close to beating WordPress at the moment.

Don't sign up at wordpress.com, instead go to wordpress.org and download it, then install for your site. Some hosts even offer one click installs of it, and it's completely free.
