Hi, Can someone tell me if this is a suitable blog set up please? I currently have a website - non cms. For its purpose it serves well and i dont want to change it. I do however want to have a blog, so i can ad mini stories etc on it which will relate to the website. However i do not want to allow comments. I also want the blog to be seo friendly so the mini stories etc may get picked up by the search engines. Is it possible to have a blog hosted on my own site/shared server? If i can, what are the pros and cons of having the site hosted with myself or under a blogging site? Thanks in advance. Fuzz
Yes, you can host a new blog along with your site. PM me with details if you want any help regarding this issue.
Of Course you can host a blog along with your site. You can install wordpress onto the root, something like www. mysite. com/blog (your host can help you if you need). You do not have to allow comments if you don't want, it's completely optional either per post, or for the whole blog. As far as SEO friendly....the correct permalink set up, and "All in One SEO' plug in and tags, and you are one your way. I always suggest hosting your own blog. Wordpress is free, wordpress.org, and since you already have hosting, and a domain, there is nothing left to do except install the platform, pick a temple or theme , and get to blogging.
