Did a search on topics about blogging here and found nothing like it. For more than a year I've ben running my own weblog at http://digitador.cjb.net

I type directly at Dreamweaver. The template is shabby-looking, but I did it myself and can change it easily when I please. The problem: it can eat up some time to reorganize older posts when I want to include new ones.

So I tried Blogger and it works just fine as a publishing tool. But I was given a new template and had to rebuild the old one from scratch. Tried Movable Type and Livejournal but they seem almost the same, if not more complicated.

What I'm looking for is only a script that I can paste on my already existing site and make it show the posts I send either from a software or a website.

Does anything like that exist? Because if it doesn't I'll just keep on typing directly with Dreamweaver. Thanks in advance.

If you can use .shtml on your server, you could always use a SSI call from your original page that includes the contents of your blogger output. You then set Blogger to just output the HTML that you want to put into that space.

e.g.

original page:

<html>
...
<!-- Blog starts here -->
<!--#include virtual="blog.html" -->
<!-- Blog ends here -->
...
</html>

and then set Blogger to FTP to "blog.html", with just the code in the template that you want to insert between the start and end. You can do the same sort of thing with archives.

I don't know about SSI but will try to look for it and how to make blogger worjk for me, magnet.

Can I use the code bit you posted directly on it?

Thanks a lot.

Sure.

You may need to change the extension of your page from ".html" to ".shtml" for it to work, depending on how your server is set up. I'm assuming it's an Apache server...

PM me if it's giving you trouble.

Thanks a lot, Mag. I copied a script line from my girlfriend's blog and changed her Blogger ID to my. Then I pasted it into the blogger code, which I was able to identify and the whole amalgamated code into my old template. And finally all this übercode into Blogger's template.

It worked just fine. But I hated it and switched back to writting direclty at Dreamweaver. =)

I was worthy as hacking effort in the end. Thanks a lot for the help! Cheers.

Hey, Vortex! You could always check these guys. They have a software called Publique! that should make things easier for you.
