I have an existing website and I would like to install blog with the same header and footer layout.
Is it possible to place a blog in the middle/body of the page, incorporate into an existing web page?
Or do I have to build it from scratch?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Many thanks.
Do you use a specific technology ?
If you use Rails, Sinatra or any other Ruby/Rack based framework, I can recommend toto for that exact purpose.
Your most common options are Blogger and Wordpress.
Generally you'll setup the blog in a different URL like www.mysite.com/blog. Each blogging service has its own manual that teaches you how to configure the blog according to your needs.
You can of course configure the blog to have the look and feel of your main site. To do that you have to configure some files (probably CSS stylesheet files).
