Question: Is there any blog software that I can use to host my own blog on my website?
Hello, and thanks for trying to help!

I have a website that I’ve been using for a while. I designed it myself in HTML with CSS in Dreamweaver. I’ve decided that it would be a great idea to have a blog on it too, so my viewers can get more information. So, I looked into blog software. The only problem is that they give me no control over the way my entire site looks!

I tried WordPress, but word press made my whole site look dumb, and blank, and I didn’t want to sit and spend hours learning how to make a “WordPress Theme” that looked similar my website. What I’d like to do is use my current website, but have the blog in my content area (I have links and a header above it, and a footer below). A blog would be great so that the Devs and I could each log in, post a blog that would display who posted it and when, and would allow comments. I don’t really want/need much more than that.

Thanks a lot. I’ve been looking for a long time, and I know that the only options aren’t the one’s that seize complete design control from the user! Someone must have made a web designer/graphic artist friendly one by now!
