Hosting a blogger website
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2005 10:31 am
Okay, here's what I'm looking for. I want to create a website that will alow my users to post their blogs just as blogger.com does. What are my options? What are the steps, requirements, and cost?
I've read a few articles but still not very clear on this issue. I'm not sure if what I want requires a blogger server, blogging software, or basically just some tempaltes with web server, ftp server, and mysql database. I've went to the http://wordpress.org/ and it does seem to do what I'm looking for but I'm still unsure. I've seen that blogger.com will allow me host the blogs on my website but link the blogging to blogger.com's website. Here's what I want. I want to have the same functionality as blogger.com but without the user noticing that we are in fact using blogger.com's service. We want to have the look that we host our own the blogging. Usually the user will see a blogger.com banner or something on the page and I don't want this. That is why I'm thinking of having our own blogger server but I do not want to go this route if I don't have to. I like to know if there is an already existing service out there that will do what I wanted without me setting up a blogger server and do all the software installation and maintenance.
