Adding a blog?

jdp

We would like to add a blog to our site, but I'm coming up short on ideas for doing so. Currently, we are just using Storybuilder as a makeshift blog, but would like the full slate of blogging capabilities.

I've looked at embedding Wordpress or Blogger, primarily, but have heard of BlogCFC also. Would any of these work within Convio (I'm not a programmer/developer, so forgive me if these questions have 'duh' answers)?

Is one better than the other?

Is there another way to do this altogether?

Thanks for any suggestions!

We are on the standard Convio platform. Is there a blogging product within that?

Convio does not have really have a blogging tool built in. Storybuilder is the closest (I think there was something built into clubs as well, but unless it's been updated, i would not recommend it).

In terms of blogger vs wordpress, I like wordpress as a tool better, but you have more customization options with blogger versus the free version of wordpress. We use typepad (paid) for our blogs. I'm not familiar with your other option, and i know there are others as well.

We don't really embed the blog on any of our pages. But there are ways to do that (javascript widgets, iframes),some examples
