I might be able to help but I need to see what you are trying to do to make sure I understand what you are saying. Maybe post a link to a site that does what you are trying to do and I will look at it and post back to tell you how they did it and how you can do it.

I was going to say that if you use PHP-Nuke that there is a Nukeblog module that you just download then upload into your nuke site and then activate it and there is also the jorunal with PHP-Nuke and a journal is pretty much the same as a blog it is just called something else, so you could rename the jorunal module to Blog and it allow others to comment on these blogs etc. Since you didn't mention what you are using or are thinking of using it is kind of hard to tell you haw to go about making a blog.

Actually organicbmx did mention it. organicbmx is planning on using the software from blogger.com to post things on blogger.com and then to have it transferred to organicbmx's site. (am i right organicbmx?)

 

What organicbmx needs help with is to use iframes to show two different blogs... or at least something like that...

here you are - sorry i didnt do this at first - this site had changed and i didnt realise that they were still using an iframe

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

i want to make something like the blog in that x2

the reason i stated blogger.com is that it is easy to use and i want other people do be able to update remotely and indipendantly to me. i didnt think this was possible using a real php program becasue i thought some tech knowledge would be required [ the other posters are more like simple point and click users and blogger will be easy for them ]

i think rhodesian.dragon has got the gist of what im trying to do. hope it all makes sence now.

thanks

it's not via blogger.com, but iframs are simeple to set up if you know the HTML.set up the iframes: <iframe name="" src=""> and have the source page your blog (making your own will be lots simpler than using livejournal or something)

Are you sure they were iframes and not CSS faking iframes. blogger.com has CSS support (ie you can change the way your particular blog looks) May be it is possible to show contents from another blog in a (fake) iframe.

well the way i see it you want to have an iframe that shows your blogger.com blog on your not blogger.com website. if thats the case all you would need to do is edit your template to make it look nice inside the iframe by changeing the css and all that in the template which you can edit in the control panel thing. if you dont know how to edit the css which im supposing you do then you can just ask me for help.

thanks. ive got something working at the moment but the problem is that i need to get rid of the bar at the top of all blogger pages. i think this is only because it is hosted on blogger.com not because it is the free service. does anyone know how to change it so that it is an ftp blogger account feeding to a page on my server? this is the problem i no have inless anyone can work out any javascript that might know the top bar off, but that would not be idea for the terms of use and therefor only a last option.

what i have at the moment is here - my site at the moment

thanks

well your site looks pretty cool. and that bar is pretty annoying. i have no idea how to take it away but you could try and write them somehow like suggjesting that they make it an option to take it away.

[sxyloverboy 0]

oOo i just got an idea! what you could do is... you could put a tag somewhere in the template around were the posts start like this one.

<a name="start">

and then in the code from you website you put something like

<iframe src="http://yourblog.blospot.com#start">

im not very sure if it works yet but its worth a try i guess.

thanks for the site compliment - it needs a little tweeking but it getting therei need to try the ftp option on blogger. how do you think this will work. is it ok to give out ftp details from Xisto to make this thing work. im very apreaciative and dont want to annoy them.i might try that start idea but i also dont want blogger to get annoyed either becasue i like the service. how mad do you think they would get?thanks.

i dont think that youll annoy the poeple from bloggger.com or anything if your trying to get it to work. have you tried looking if there is any information in the help or FAQ of their site to have it hosted externaly. if theres no informations there just write them a letter that explains your issue. theres a form to do that. ive done it already too its a good service.
