Title: JoeCanuck.com BLOG?
Post by: BHMike on May 17, 2006, 06:20:00 PM

I'm about ready to quit.
I've been attempting (very unsuccessfully) to set up a Blog on the front of the site.

Why?

Updates.

This way I can give a few of you access and you can post any 'news' on the main page.

I had considered asking Ed, but....well..... he 'fixed' the site last time. ;-)

Anyone know how to do it?

Since I have a blog myself, I know how to do the basic set-up. There is a way to invite some people into that blog, so there could be more than one person posting. However, I don't know how to work that function.

Here's the thing.
I know HOW to set up the blog and totally work it (I have had one for over two years).

What I don't know is how to set it up on JoeCanuck.com. I can assign people once it's set up.

Do you know how to do that part Loop?

Having the blog integrated on the Joe Canuck website? No clue. But I'm sure Brad would probably know since he has a blog on his own website.

What sort of blog software you using?  Just Blogger or something standalone installed on the JoeCanuck server?

The one that I've had for a few years is on blogger.

I'd like to set one up here on the actual site.

Do you just want to make the homepage become "blog-postable" or add a specific blog section?

Either is possible.  Just takes a little work with blogger templates to make it look right.
