I want to put a blog on my website but make it look like it is part of the site and not some other site like blogger etc. Any ideas of off the shelf products or good ways to do this?
The most common blog software is Word Press. It is easy to install and you can either put it as yourdomain.com/blog and link it as part of your navigation on the front page of your domain or you can make it your main domain. Depending on who your host provider is, most offer Fantastico as part of the hosting. This is the easiest way to install Word Press. Otherwise, go to http://wordpress.org and download it and follow the direction to upload it to your server.
