    Ohkay, so I want to make a blog on my website, www.bitememanga.com, and I've already tried movabletype, and blosxom, neither working out for me. I just want a blog, with the same layout as my other pages, an rss feed, and the capability to leave comments. Please please help me out.

    Did you attempt to install wordpress from wordpress.org. It is one of the easiest blog software to install and use. You'll need to setup a mysql database for it, and cut and paste your current website's theme onto it though. So, you might have to be very well versatile in html, javascript, and coding to "extract" and place your theme onto a wordpress template.

    :)

    If you need the same layout as your existing site, you will need to learn how to create a "theme" or "template" for particular blogging software. For example, if you are going to use Wordpress, you might want to explore the Wordpress website for a tutorial on how to make a "theme" for Wordpress.

    As far as I know, the installation of PHP blogging software is as easy as create a new directory, put the PHP files in, install the database, and link to the newly installed blog from your main page.
