[RESOLVED] Blog maybe??

Dawg

I am looking for a very easily customizable php blog. I have a customer that wants to be able to add daily or weekly comments about his work and upload a photo with it now and then.

I was thinking a blog wrapped in his website skin would be perfect.

What do you all think??

Wordpress. Easily installed, easily customized, easily used, standard in the business at the moment.

Thanks, I figured that would be the one but I thought maybe something else came along that I had not heard about.

How about php banner ad rotation scripts? Any suggestions on a good one?

There are many others, yes. Personally, I dabbled in Habari for awhile but gave up: I'm just not the blogging type.

WordPress is the only blog tool I've worked with, so I cannot really compare it to others, but it would seem entirely capable of what you are describing. As far as ease of customization, that wll depend on what you want to do and your particular skills with PHP and/or HTML/CSS. If you want to build your own visual layout from scratch, you might want to start with the "Sandbox" theme as your starting point.

As far as ad rotation, the answer will depend on your exact requirements; but if you search these forums for "ad rotation" or "image rotation" you should find a number of discussions on the subject.

Note that there are probably some Wordpress plugins specifically for it; in fact there are probably banner rotation plugins for pretty much any blogging tool out there that has plugins.

There are Wordpress addons for everything and anything. Seriously, some people just want to be listed there it seems.
