Looking for a Blog thing
Can anyone direct me to a source for software like this blog.
What I'm looking for, for someone else actually, is blog that can be posted and then comments can be offered on the posted article. ...if that makes sense ...just like the one linked to here.
Further 3 or 4 different sources of software, or what ever the hell it is, would be great.
couldnt html and that sort of coding work for it?
I've no idea. I don't know shit about that kind of stuff.
that seems like an easy way? your friend could try that
This is gonna be for a non-profit group to communicate with it's members and get feed back. Is that something that can be built into and existing site. I'm sure it is. I just have no idea how to do it, were to start, or anything.
So what do I need to do? Tell them to go find somebody that can use one of the forementioned site and write the code for it? How do you go about finding somebody like that? Their current web master doesn't seem to have the ability or doesn't want to take the time.
if you are looking for an online blog area places like Blogger or BlogSpot otherwise both Msn and Yahoo also offer Blog area's if not a simple html or php code could be created to allow a simple blog online
One thing that is a definate requirement is that it must be entered through and a part of the non-profits web site. Will these things allow that?
This should technically be ok as long as you acknowledge blogspot or whatever and don't try and fob it off as your own software, the best way is to email the owners of the blog sites and ask them different blogs will have different answers...You can easily link the blog into your existing site thought and i am sure this shouldn't be a problem although i suggest you email them and ask.
Will the non-profit retain editing and monitoring of the comments in response to the posted blog and be able to set their won rules and have their own moderators?
If you are looking for something like this it is probably advisable to code it yourself as it will be easier to watch over and moderate yourself.
Well I sure as hell can't code it. How do I find someone who can? Anybody here who can want to make some cash.
Well there is only one way to find out to be honest that is by emailing the site owners for Blog Spot and Blogger , i mean there are heaps and heaps of online blog sites around i am sure they would be very helpful :smile:
the curernt web master doesnt want to do it because its a huge pain in the fucking assI had a entire blog and forum on one of my web sites, it got to be so much fuckign work to keep it running it jsut wasnt worth it.shits easier now but still, there is so much set up and shit to do to write the code that its jsut apain in teh assI can telly a that people have made it easier since I tried it.should ya buy a domain from godaddy.com, theres an option to turn on a forum on your site. I know not what the monthly fees are for that feature but its customizable, and its run on thier software they also have a blog software, a personal blogthat doesnt accept comments woudl be easy shit to write in html and allow viewing access.any of that help ya out?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_hosting_serviceMaybe some of the ones listed under 'Free/Libre/Open Source Software'?Edit: Wordpress is the only one I've heard of. It's not half bad, worth checking out at least.
I don't know this is getting so far beyond the little section of my brain reseved for computer shit. I don't know that I'm going to be able to help 'em but it's run by a bunch of old ladies (mom would hurt me if she heard me say that, I'm sure all of would) and they don't know where else to turn.What they are having a problem with is their political opponents are are using their web site to propagandize against them, it's open access. Beyond that politicans are coming and making political speeches and they don't want, and for a non-profit there are some legal concerns. Further still it's antiquated and backwards to use. It's the worst blog I've ever seen. You can see it here if you want. That is want they want to get rid of for something more like this. They want something with far more control than the almost no control they have now. I don't know I'm completely lost now...
well......
you could use a freesite, any of the blog places people have mentioned, then wirte the main page as an entry and pull the blog up in a frame so it looks like part of hte original page and could keep athe same banner and headers?
a menu bar on teh right side with a banner over top and the blog as a frame... it could work out nicely and would require little upkeep.
IF they have a web master who knows jack shit he coudl set it up in a very short time.
That's all I can think of right now. I guess I'll see if I can find somebody who can right code. Anybody have any idea what that is going to cost 'em?
