Guidance on Creating a Business Blog

  • Hi all,

    I was wondering how I can utilize and integrate the database and blogging content of WordPress into my business webpage. Specifically, I after web page content, I wanted to have links to recent posts (for instance all posts of the category news). Users could click on post and receive the post content within the business website (rather than a new window with blog type content). I think this is a common integration of blogs in business pages right now. Could someone give me some guidance on where to start and how I would go about setting this up? Thanks.

  • There was an article that you might find interesting in yesterday’s Observer Newspaper – UK
    https://www.guardian.co.uk/microsoft/Story/0,,1749873,00.html

    It was looking at business blogs in general & has some references to books that may be of use.

    The common integration point is usually ‘visible’ first — that is, taking your theme/style for your site and making a WordPress theme from it. That way the two LOOK like the same environment.

    Another piece you can do is extract common page elements (header, footer, sidebars) into separate PHP files, included from within your theme and from your main site.

    Lastly, you can ‘migrate’ your original site into WordPress Pages or other elements, if you want everything to really share common code.

    But in the end, PHP and CSS are the glue…
