HTML - Integrate Blog Into Website
Hi,
I am designing a website for a client who wants a blog/news feed integrated into the homepage. Ideally she would be able to log in to a module (like Wordpress) and post news updates. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about building a website that accommodates a blog/news feed. Should I use Wordpress to build the whole site? Or is that too limiting? Should I build the site in PHP and the integrate a wordpress blog onto the homepage? If so, can someone direct me to a tutorial that explains how to do this? In general, how difficult is this to accomplish? I'm new to web design but am a quick learner. Thanks! Chloe Similar TutorialsHi I've built a website for my karaoke show, and would like to add a blog page to the site. Rather than 3rd party, I'd prefer to have my own blog on my own domain to increase traffic for the SE crawlers. I was wondering... - what some good options are ie what blog software to use - if I can have a blog that somehow incorporates Facebook and Twitter (i've seen Facebook connect, but I'd like something that posts my blog messages to my Facebook and Twitter pages) I currently have a Typepad blog on there, but as I said, I'd prefer to have my own blog code, not third party. The site is www.billygoatkaraoke.com.au , and I'd really like the blog to stay on the site - I'm thinking that I'll have a blog page open up over the goat when someone clicks on the BLOG link.

Hi I want a blog on my website on one of the pages. I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I think I either need to upload a blog script to my server or use a live feed from a blog site like wordpress or blogger. can anyone help? thanks Hi, I have a website www.bigfreebet.com which I want to create a football news page on. I want it to be www.bigfreebet.com/football. I was thinking I can use a blog to create an easy updatable page, but don't know how to get one on my site. I was thinking I could create a blog on blogger.com and use an rss feed to put it on my site. Would this work or are there any other ways? thanks Hi, I was wondering if i could receive some help creating a blog-type website. With on the sidebar: archive, calender, recent posts etc. Posts: read more button, todays date, author (posted by) etc. Facebook share button, twitter etc. Flash banner with a picture slider add own logo, slogan, footer etc. I tried wordpress but the themes are not that great and it wont let you do a lot. Is there an app or software that will make this easy? Thank you, W. Can anyone tell me how to change the header and the look of my wordpress blog to match my site? I am just learning html. I know nothing of php, so I am not sure if I should tackle this or not. Thanks! hi i have a website running on wordpress and another website which is purely a static website my question is, on the static website on a particular page for example blog.html is it possible to retrieve all the blog entries that have been made on the website running on wordpress to be displayed in blog.html page on the static website if not all categories atleast a specific category from the wordpress website is this only possible if both websites are running on wordpress if so what are the other solutions in this case of the static website other than making the static website into wordpress is there a solution please advice. thanks Hello! I would like to intregrate my wordpress blog (http://heartless-ink.com/fwoosh/) into this page (http://heartless-ink.com/v2/news.html) How can I do this? I only want the entries and images to show, not the wordpress theme. Any tips? Thanks! Hi I am new to this site, I am having problem in my non blog site. I was trying to integrate wordpress blog in my non blog site. I am nearly done only few issues. Here is the site http://www.zipanatomy.com/blog/ 1. the post titles are coming some other way, without linking and some coding. 2. down to the footer, I have called a footer.php file which is from the non blog site and is in the root directory, the problem here is, they are linking to the wordpress log folder. 3. And one more issue is when I click the categories and do any search from the sidebar, that are opening on the extreme right of the page instead of in center. please, advices from the pros where I am getting wrong. thanks in advance, chander So this is my first post and first major attempt at some serious coding. I'm tackling a project beyond my current skill level, so please bear with me as I use this as a learning opportunity. Here's a crappy sketch of what I'm trying to accomplish: http://i.imgur.com/1Qwhs.png Basically, I'm looking to create a website that allows someone to search for a particular artist and have the albums generated based on the wikipedia page. I think it then makes sense to generate check boxes for the album names, so that users can check an album and see mediafire or rapidshare links based on the artist and album. I realize that I'm revealing my idea and that anyone interested could steal it. I'm mostly just looking to learn from this right now, though. Anyway, if someone could just point me toward some resources as to what would be required in a project like this, or give me an idea as to how to start, I'd really appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks I have made my site using html and css. I wanna make forums but dont want it to be external and want it to be part of my html page with same header and foooter. I DONT WANT IT TO CHANGE HEADER OF FOOOTER oF FORUMS. In other words I mean my forums to be integrated in html or when I click link on my html website in the same page the forums come. Any suggestion would be appreciated The php script I'm using for a video-sharing site, uses JWplayer as the default player. JWplayer has different embed code to embed the player and allow video files to be played from a different source than the php script source. I want to replace or modify the script code for the Player with the JWplayer code (so it'll play videos from the other source) which shows the other source as http://videos.mywebsite.com/myvideo.flv. How can I modify or integrate this script code with the code below it (the JWPlayer code)? Do I just need to change a few lines? Thanks for any guidance.

Should you find shopping cart software, and build the site around it, or is it possible to integrate a cart into an existing site? The site I'm working on is mainly to provide info to clients, but will also have a small line of products for sale. Also, are there any carts that allow you, once a user has logged in, to only see certain products? Cheers Shaun Hi All, I've finally successfully gotten a blog up on my organizations website but I am having a lot of trouble getting it to look like the other pages. I used a template for my main page and tweaked it a lot (www.cleaneducation.org). The main template is mostly html with a css file. I had never seen how blogs were done until now and see that there is no html index at all but only a php file associated with a css file... So my question is how to I get my html/css template to convert to the necessary type (assuming php/css) for the blog. The blog is an internal blog for the directors (myself included) to keep in touch with one another and to keep up to date so if it's really hard to get it to look like the main template it isn't a huge deal but if it's possible I personally would prefer it. Oh yeah, I am using wordpress for my blogging software (really easy install through the hosting company I use). heres a link to my blog http://leader-of-our-nation.tumblr.com/ heres my coding <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-- Theme: The Minimalist v1.

To see for yourself my blog is: http://freebielink.blogspot.com/ Hi: I wish to create a 'blog' that *I* control, and where the blog content would reside on my own Apache Server at my home. Is this reasonable and/or easy to do, OR should I use a commercial blog site (e.g., www.blogger.com) For example, I'd like my visitors to access my site (www.myblogsite.org) and then 'Vent their Spleens' on the subject of interest (which will be Heallthcare in the USA and its prospects for change, and the rantings about 'socialism' on the Fox Channel). Thanks for any guidance. -Mel Smith I am trying to code my own blog. I assume id have to use XML. However, my question is how do i create the drop down box that would sort all my previous posts by cat? thanks Hello knowledgable HTMLforum gurus. I have a client that would like a blog feature on her site, so that she can update one of the pages with announcements, etc. Is there some free code anywhere that I can use to accomplish this? I'd like the code to be able to archive old entries and have a search function if possible... Also, I need to have the blog section fit into the same design scheme as the rest of the site that I will be creating, so outsourcing to blogspot or something like that is out of the question. Does anyone know of any freeware that can accomplish this? Thanks in advance, hous edit: please forgive the placement of this thread - not sure where this belongs. |
