I'd like to know this as well.
I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.8a
I currently use google blogger and would like this to feed onto my site.

Thank you!!

Re: whats the best way to use a blog with my zen cart site ?

There is a nice mod called wordpress on Zen Cart that shows WP content inside your ZC pages and sidebars. There are a few drawbacks to this I hear regarding some WP plugins, but it is a good solution.

Alternately, having totally separate WP and ZC works well too if you can make both the WP and ZC templates match.

An example of this is http://www.eyeitalia.com

Both ways have pros and cons.
