Incorperating a blog into a website

    Hi I would like to have an aspect of my website be a blog.

    Example: regular format website w/ home page. Header on top w/ links to Forum, videos, articles, etc.... one of the links is "blogs"

    the "blogs" page may have blogs of several ppl. Essentially I would like to have a wordpress or blogger format inside some of my pages, but not all. It is also critical for there to be a blogging interface (so that I don't have to do everything manually in HTML)

    I really don't like the idea of having al ink to a separate wordpress or blogger site.

    Is this possible? Is this free?

    Thanks for the help.

    yes. simply have your blog published remotely (blogger) or host wordpress locally and create the blog at either a subdomain blog.yoursite.com or within a folder yoursite.com/blog

    Yes as edr said either blog.yoursite.com or within a folder yoursite.com/blog, i would recomend wordpress as you can host it locally.

    And since Wp is quite easy to skin you could design it to follow the theme of your site.

    If you need to install more than one wordpress blog (in case you need one blog per author instead of many authors per blog) you can use one database for each blog.
