Embedding a Blog within a Freeway Page Help

Hi,

This is my first post at the forums, but I’ve learned so much browsing and searching them. Now I hope to call on all the expertise here to help solve a problem.

I used Freeway Pro to create a site for the Middle School choir I teach. I wanted to have a blog embedded in the home page, but because of the ‘old’ server our school has, I am hosting the blog with blogger.com. If you visit my homepage, you’ll see I’ve put the blog within an iFrame.

http://www.taylorschools.net/west/chorus

What I’d like to change/fix is the fact that the blog appears within a separate window with its own scroll bars. It looks a little amateurish, I think. What I’d like to know is if anyone can help me make the blogger frame appear ON the page, rather than WITHIN the page… So it appears as if the blog is a natural part of the page rather than something squeezed into it.

I’ve looked at tutorials on freeway actions regarding blogging, but they all seem to be aimed at doing the opposite: modifying the site hosted at the blogspot site.

Thanks for any and all help!

If you were using Freeway 5 you could create a blog page using the
Blogger Template Actions and just link to/from it as if it’s just a
regular page. Using Freeway 4 you would need to link directly to the
blog but without having the customizability and the ability to add
your own header to the blog page to link back to the site.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Dave, if you want to use the iFrame over the Blog Action, you will
have to make your iFrame length something like 10,000, something long
enough to encompass the entire length of your blog. The screen
measurements are on the first tab of the info panel when you have your
iFrame selected. Make sure you have scroll set to NO in the iFrame
action. You might have to experiment with the length of the iFrame.
