How Should I Use WordPress?

  • Hi, I have a website and I am now trying to decide if it would be better to:

    1) Have a button on my menu that says “Blog” which goes to a separate blog page.
    2) Incorporate wordpress into my homepage and other pages where it is only a part of the page but would be more easily accessed.
    3) Make my whole website the wordpress Blog so that I design my website around the wordpress template. ( I don’t think this would work as my website is highly graphical in nature and has a lot of movies and images etc.)

    Q1) I like the look of my website, but what I want is feedback from my web users. Is it possible to only have a small portion of some of my web pages as the blog so users can respond?

    Q2) Would that be too complicated to set up and

    Q3) are there any disadvantages to having only a portion of your website as a blog?

    I’d appreciate any suggestions/help so I can figure this out. Thanks

  • Could always install WordPress in a sub-folder of your domain root and access it as yourdomain.com/blog or yourdomain.com/myfunwordpress or yourdomain.com/whatever.

    But if you are going to make WordPress look like your existing site, you may want to give serious consideration to letting WordPress handle the whole thing.

    WordPress is highly customizable so it is “doable” either way. Since you mentioned that you will have multiple videos/images on the page, what better way than to publish these items out? Or if you don’t want a bloggy style in the front page you could always make your homepage static and have a link to your blog but just remember to set that in the admin panel to choose which page should be your blog page.

    Cheers!
