Anyone have a somewhat easy way of putting a Wordpress blog into a VSD designed site?
I am trying to just add a blog to the site but seems that there really isn't a easy way to do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Ben

A really easy thing to do would be to get a CC S-Drive/Stream account. In the VSD toolbar (left side), there's a red circle with an S on it. Once you have an acct. set up, you can click that icon to add a Stream (which works like a blog) to your site. Full-page Stream things also allow for reader comments.
You can make posts (including text, images and video) from any internet connected device with a user name and password (no FTP).
This is a fairly new addition to CC's products, new features are still being added. Just click the S-Drive link above the forums and have a look :)

Otherwise you could use an iFrame or RSS stream.

@paintbrush - that might be the direction I need to head in, Chad's solution might be great but I don't know anything about iFrames or RSS streams and implementing them into a site. I have never really been much of a programmer, just more visual. Is that S-Drive/Stream what you use on your site?

please take a look at my test site that I am working on www.justaskjammn.com for the company I work for. I made the logo from scratch in CorelDrawX4 and the owner likes the feel of the site compared to their original www.kalescollisioncenter.com

let me know what you think

I know the site isn't particularly well laid out but it has the feeling that I am going for.

Yes, that's a Stream on my site, and as soon as I can tear myself away from this egghunt, I'm going to experiment with a full-page theme instead of the embedded one so I can have reader's comments on posts (this is very easy to set up). I'm putting a Stream on the home page of another site to combine info from some other pages, as well as display news/events: http://calda.coffeecup.com
(this is just a sample, only the home page is displayed).

I love Corel Draw - nice work that logo! The site itself is looking good, but I don't have the Engraver's Gothic font on this computer, so the text is not displaying correctly (only users with that font will see what you see). Here's some info about web-safe fonts:

I almost forgot... you can also set up your Stream so it integrates with your Facebook/Twitter accts. So you only have to make one post in your Stream and it will show on FB and/or Twitter as well.
