Hi,
I am a web programmer and my boss has asked to:
Change his Articles section on his website to a 'blog'
(I have suggested however that he may be better off creating a separate
blog website, on wordpress.org for example, or perhaps both).
He wants a blog on his websites for a number of reasons (regular updates for SEO reasons and for image reasons, to look tech savvy and 'with it').
I have an number of questions then I guess.
1) Are there any recommendations for embedable blog tools to plug into his website (which is raw PHP running on an inhouse framework built by another programmer (ie' not wordpress, or cakePHP or drupal or any other such framework).
2) What do you guys think about adding the blog to his site Vs creating a separate blog site (which would need to be skinned to match his site). Vs doing both?
3) So what is a blog anyway. He has asked me to define it for him a couple of times. I have pasted the definition from wiki pedia. But I really think its a very word that can be very liberally interpreted.
(To me really anything that has submitted, entries could class as a blog).
So when he asks for a blog (or client does) how do we know what they mean?
I hope this isn't to broad ;)
