    Default Incorporating a blog

    I did a search and the first 4 posts I found had no answers to the question. Does anyone have an example of a Xara site that has incorporated a blog?

    Thanks
    Gary

    The only way I know to do this is to link through an iframe or to use the Embed a Website Widget which is available in the Other Widgets folder in the newer versions.

    I'm thinking that the easiest way is to use Google Blogger as shown here.Make the blog reside on the host domain xxx.mysite.blogspot.com, not Google, and then just put a link on the site to My Blog or whatever. Then manage the site via Google. It might help with locals too being Google's blog tool.

    Thanks

    I did a site a while back which used wordpress for the blog whilst the rest of the site was done in xara, then just create links between both.

    Since that site we exclusively use wordpress for blog sites, just a cleaner way to do the whole thing in wordpress.

    I have embedded Blogger Blogs into some websites. I like to do this, so that the visitor does not leave the website AND, the customer has a page they can contribute to their own business. Here are a couple> http://www.sandysbythesea.com/blog.htm http://www.6figuresband.com/news.htm http://www.wisconsingps.com/blog.htm

    Skech - That is certainly very clean. Is Wordpress a quick start just to create a simple blog? Andy - thanks - nice links too. Does using Google offer any other advantages like links to posting Google Reviews?
