Adding a blog to a website?

Or blogger.com has an option to FTP pages to a directory on your site.

I was looking for one too, although I'd prefer an ASP based one. Found a
few, but none that do just what I want. I wrote my own basic one, but
rather than adding to it I'd rather just plug on in (no time!!)

I don't know of any ASP based ones, but the "gold standard" -- Movable
Type -- is perl based and should run in pretty much any webserver
environment.

I recommend WordPress (http://wordpress.org/). It's free, it
validates, it works well, and it has good support.

: The website already has articles and what I want to do is allow
users
: to login and reply to the articles already there with a blogging
type
: system so it appears underneath.

Take a look at the sites in the "Your WordPress" section of the
support forum. One I saw yesterday that does what I think you want is
at http://www.californiaconservative.org/ .

I've used Rodin <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://rodin.lot23.com/" target="_blank">http://rodin.lot23.com/</a> and can't
rate it high enough, it's simple enough to make it
look just how you want and while it's written in
PHP I guess you could reverse engineer it to run
under ASP.

Hi John.. There are several threads about BLOGing software going.. i
started one in fact beifre this one.. I asked if there was any decent and,
with fingers crossed - hopefully free. Well I found one that looks
promising - I think one of your replies mentions this one. So here is a
copy-paste of me answering myself in another thread - and several weeks
later, as i am in this thread too.

------- begin quote:

If anyone is reading this thread, I found one that looks promising. A PHP
BLOGing software package that says it has a "famous 5 minute
installation"..

Well, I kind of put BLOG on the back burner so I haven't tried it out
yet.. Me & PHP don't agree too much because I am no programmer, but I do
run a PHP email type form as a contact me thing, and I even was able to
tweak some of it to fit my situation.

Anywho, "WordPress" is supported through open source, and it says it is
free - GNU released, to use however you want, be you a one site webmaster
or do website writing as a job.. Survives on donations.

OK once again, it is called WordPress. I have WordPress v1.5, which I
think is the latest..

Anywho I am going to get to it soon enough. Just thought I'd mention it
in case anyone is looking..

Have a good one...
