Add a blog to my **

OK, I have a site. I just want to add a blog to it.
I web blogs are a piece of cake to maintain but for the life of me I don't see how I can create just a blog and add it to my current website. (I did not use iWeb to make my original site) I definitely don't want to replace my current website with something created in iWeb.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Sorry, I just use iWeb's blog. Maybe you can try a site that has forums for non-iWeb site creation.

Good luck!

You could have a Blong on wordpress .com and integrate it using an iFrame
http://wordpress.com/features/

Or if you have a MySQL Database and PHP support on your hosting go to
http://wordpress.org/
Download and upload it to server.

Install is easy.

so I can't use iWeb to do this? My wife is going on a work trip and will be gone for a couple months. I was hoping she could use her laptop and keep in contact with me and the rest of the family on her blog. Something easy for her to share, and use in conjunction with iPhoto and Imovie.

I have to say I'm really disappointed. Why would I want to download another program when there's an Integrated web application already on my computer.

If all your wife wants to do is post a blog, use a site like http://www.xanga.com/

iWeb is a dummied-down web page creator and has many limitations, but it is very simple to use for those who just want create an attractive site to share photos, videos, etc. and don't want to get their hands dirty with html code.

If you really want her to use iWeb, the other solution would be for her to create her own new iWeb site to which you can have links to on your site.

Good luck!

That would make sense but I was really trying not to open another account and just piggyback her on to our current web server. thanks for your help
