Hi , I would like to know is there any way to integrate a blog into a website if yes then please tell me i really need to know that. Kind regards
Easiest way... 1. Make a folder called blog on your root domain. 2. Install Wordpress on that folder. 3. Find a theme that best matches or compliments your website, or..have one designed to match it, or...find a layout that you like and change the header and colors to match your website. From there, just add a menu link in your websites navigation that say's "Blog" or what ever you want it to say and link it to the new blog.
It is custom coded web site and i want to implement the blog system into it please guide me how can i do that? Here is the website http://www.esouls.net and the other website is http://www.qurantutorsonline.com. Thanks
It depends how "integrated" you want to get. Following hmansfield's recommendations of having a separate blog directory is a good way to start. Often, all you need to do is to have a link to your blog from every page of your site, and then a link back to your main site (and perhaps a toolbar or sidebar with links to different sections of your main site) from your blog. However, I also think that it's important to interlink your blog and site. Make sure to link liberally in natural ways to blog posts from within your website, and use your blog to draw attention to pages of your website by linking to them. Don't overdo it but just do it consistently over time in ways that make your site more easy to naturally navigate. You can take integration to a deeper level though, especially if you're a programmer and have a system that's designed from scratch; but that's really beyond the scope of this thread.
It depends on the website, does this website exist? if already exist, then you can install wordpress in a "blog" folder or any folder you like to name it. Then putting a button in your existed website to point to this wp blog. Easiest is install wordpress, and make it look like a website and have a blog tab menu. But it should not have an existing website, especially if this website has lots of content already.
Yes of course. I've just done that actually It's just a trick with pages. 1. Install wordpress in your root directory... 2. Once installed, create a new page that'll serve as your home page 3. Create a page with a link that is yoursite dot com/blog 4. Go to WP settings and set your static homepage to a specific page you've just made and set your blog to the yoursite dot com/blog page and that's basically it everytime you write a post it will display under yoursite dot com/blog Hope that helps!
Once you have your WordPress blog installed and running, you should check out Turbo Flex Pro Theme Master. It will duplicate the look of your parent website exactly. Leaving you with a nice seamless match between your parent website and your wordpress blog. Nice for SEO. And the best part of it is, Theme Master is only $47. That is it, 47 tiny little dollar bills. A shameless promo I know, but it's still a great tool none the less. John
