Blog in Freeway

Freeway

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if there is an easy way to create a blog in freeway, but actually have it on my own domain… it not have it linked on a blogger page.

One of my main aims with my blog is to generate more interest in my site and help with SEO rankings. As well as provide useful content of course.

Any tips?

Can I have a blogger page appear within a page of mine or something like that?

Hi Matt,

There are a few ways to do this, take a look at the blog article on the knowledgebase:

Note that if you want to use Blogger, you can host the blog on your domain but you won’t be able to customize it using the Actions (you can choose from one of the templates in your Blogger account).

Hope this helps,

Joe

Yes - in an iFrame. But to actually host a fully fledged blog on your own Domain is quite a task.

There is a bucket load of server side goings on that make this difficult.

Do you really need all singing/dancing blog - tell us what your requirements are and we may be able to offer an easier solution that you can host.

Thanks for all your quick replies guys.

I think I could just use the instructions to set up my own blog like system.

Basically all I am looking for is something where I can write posts with information that I think will be interesting in my industry, for my current customers and industry types in general. Aiming for the idea, that the more people that click through my site, the more will end up looking at products and possibly buying.

It doesn’t have to have everything a blog has, but I would like it to be set so that if people come for one blog, they are tempted to read older ones, and see what else I have to say, or search them etc.

Does that make sense?

Thanks

If you don’t need your visitors to be able to add comments or posts then it might be worth looking at Max’s WebYep actions.

Does that make sense?

Absolutely. But you could look on a separately-hosted blog as a way
to produce more in-bound links to your own domain.

And you can design it so that it looks and feels like your site,
including navigation links and so on. Then the only thing that lets
visitors know it isn’t all one big, happy site is the change in URL
when they’re looking through the blog pages rather than the rest of
the site.

Just a thought, in case it helps you save a lot of time.

Yeah THanks Keith.

THats actually a really good point about the inbound links.

I might experiment with using it hosted on, say, blogger. Or then using a iFrame if I wanted it to stay the same URL.

For an example of the approach I mentioned take a look at
http://magsandbooks.blogspot.com/ - this is shown as part of the
MA-Publishing.com site, including site-specific navigation. The URL
changes, but that’s all.
