Blog script

[Hawryluk94]

You guys are probably going to call me a noob but I'm new to Dreamweaver. How do I make it on a website in which I am creating with Dreamweaver be able to make posts, like a blog. Can you send me code or just tell me.

Just install it on the webserver and you are good to go.

Sorry for being a pain but how do I install it on the webserver? Can I put

it into my template before?

Just upload the files and open up the directory (eg: upload to /blog go to www.yourdomain.com/blog and you will be prompted with the installer.

The second part of your question is more complicated. Yes you could skin the Wordpress installation to look like your template by modifying the header/footer/etc documents.  If you have never done this before I would probably recommend sticking to only modifiying the header/footer or downloading a skin that closely resembles your template so that all you have to edit are the colors.

At this point I'd recommend setting up a local test server so that you can test such a script before you install it on the web.

Mac - MAMP - http://mamp.info/en/index.html

Windows - WAMP - http://www.wampserver.com/en/

Here is a tutorial explaining the setup:

Personally they recommend XAMPP for Windows, but from experience here I find that a lot of users seem to have issues with XAMPP and personally I use WAMP and find it more intuitive.  But either one would work.
