Best way to merge a blog engine into my website
in [ASP .NET]
|
From: Cal Who on 8 Jun 2010 08:44 I want to add a blog to my existing site. I see that there are quite a few free complete blog software kits available. I'd like to try to install one along side my existing website. I'm guessing one way is to combine the Global.asax, default.aspx and web.Config files so that there is only one website entry and the website or blog can then be selected. I'm wondering if there is a simpler way. I'm wondering if I can create a folder in my website and copy the entire blog software, including the files mentioned above, into it. Is it possible to have two, for example, web.config files (in different folders)? I'd appreciate any input, such as a good blog engine to use or how it merge it with my website. Thanks

I put the blog software into a folder under the main folder. I combined the web.config files and the Global.asax files into the main folder files. Moved folders from App-Code into the main folder App-Code. But now it can't find some namespace so I'm thinking this isn't going to work. Can you suggest some way I can add a Blog to my existing website solution without me generating my own blog software? Thanks

Could you have a separate website, e.g. blog.calwho.com, in addition to www.calwho.com, thus avoiding trying to merge them? Just make an entry in your DNS settings for blog.calwho.com pointing to the same IP address as www.calwho.com and use host headers in IIS to direct it to the correct web site. -- Andrew
From: Cal Who on 10 Jun 2010 11:38 I buy from a host. I'd rather not pay for two. I think what you are saying is for someone who has his own server. Is that correct or can I also do that? Thanks ..

Well, it depends on what's in the package you bought. Is it purely www.example.com or all of example.com and some sort of access to the DNS records and server config through some sort of control panel? It'll be a case of looking at the docs from your hosting company. -- Andrew |
