Blog question!

[DesignIt]

How/what do I do to set up a blog on an already established website?

IE: how do I set it up for the url to read:

www . mywebsite.com / blog

(spaces added so it won't make it a link)

Then having the blog rest under the folder blog? I was thinking of using wordpress but am open to other suggestions.

Thanks!

I hear wordpress has alot of issues with security vulnuralbilities... I would suggest researching some of the open source software for the platform you website is hosted on: http://sourceforge.net/

Once you determine which to use, based on what you have available (MySQL, etc...) install into the /blog directory following the instructions provided.

I use wordpress with out any problems. But there a lot of other options out there too depending on exactly what you want. Just create a folder (directory) on your server named whatever you want the url to look like, then upload the necessary files for the blogging software into that folder. Most will come with easy to follow instructions on establishing the database and installing the software.

It's blogging software. They all have pretty shoddy security. I don't think wordpress is particularly worse than the average.

One other option is to simply use Blogger. It can publish files to your own site. It's a pretty simple to use solution, albeit not as flexible as installing your own software.
