Adding a blog/news to the main page of your site, similar to simplebits.com

    It's great to be able to get your message across in blogs and news, so are they any scripts out there (or tutorials) whereby you can put into your webpage instead of stylizing your blog and linking to it from your site dynamically? The one on www.simplebits.com is very good and flexible - an ideal choice.

    Thanks mate, the only concern I have is dynamically linking in the scripts whereas maybe I could get one that I could build into a page properly.

    What I mean by that is having a home page that links to /weblog.htm to get it's info, whereas the ideal situation would be to have a homepage with a built in weblog

    If understand correctly what you want is to integrate some content from your forum to your blog or from your blog to your forums. This can be easily done using RSS feed and magpierss reader.

    Just to clarify, you have a blog on your web site and would like to display recent blog entries on your static web pages.

    Looking at the site, they are probably using an RSS Aggregator to extract the blog entries. That being said, use MagpieRSS. You will just need to put a simple php script on your static page and it will automatically extract recent entries to display on your web page.

    If you want an example, I can post the php script that I used on one of my sites.
