Question About Adding A Blog

[RescoCCC]

That's what I want. What would be the best way to install it and make it work like that.

First, either setup a subdomain of blog.yoursite.com or a simple folder of yoursite.com/blog at your main site. Then go get the latest version of Wordpress and follow the instructions to install it in /blog. It's an amazingly simple install - much simpler than Zen Cart. Just make sure to create a new database for use with Wordpress.

After you've got it setup and customized the way you want it, just create an EZ-Page linking to it.

Alright, Cool. Now last question. It will use the zencart current theme correct?

You would have to customize it to match your theme. The info Steve provided might take care of that. I'm not sure, since I haven't used that approach.

No. You'll need to style the Wordpress installation to look like your Zencart site. The mod I pointed to will embed Wordpress in the center column of Zencart, using the Zencart header, footer and sideboxes.

Before I do anything stupid, If I install WordPress from my cPanel and have it install in "public_html/blog" would that work? Or would It mess up my site?

I'm not a fan of using cPanel to install software.
