Blogs and Forums

[rangermike]

hi,
im using dreamweaver and i want to have a place for forums and a blogs. Instead of getting a forum from www.proboards.com and blogs from like www.createablog.com and then link it to the word "blog" to that website. Is their codes where i can put into dreamweaver where it would make a forum or blog inside the website. So instead of linking it to another website. Like lets say i registered www.rangermike.com so instead of having it when they click on forums it directs the, to like www.proboards106.rangermike.com it would be like www.rangermike.com/forums.
So basically is there a html code to make a forum and blog inside of my website.

Usually, If you have a good host, it will have Cpanel wih PHPbb forums built in. All you need to do is set one up and put it to the directory "forum".

That's how I did mine ( www.my-domain.com/forum or www.forum.my-domain.com)

If you're doesn't have that, install yourself the forum on your server in a folder named forum. If you have anymore questions, please ask

Easiest with html would be..

Just make a page with frames. I'm not familiar with Dreamweaver but I'm sure it would be the same.

Create your page and have seperate frames.. Such as frame 1 on top, frame 2 on the bottom. Put all your info and content links on the top frame. Hyperlink them and that the hyperlink point to the bottom frame. Whatever that target is, it should show up on the bottom frame so it's kind of like they never left your page.

However, if you are talking about the address; the only way you would possibly have your own /forums is if you have your own domain. So you would have to buy it.

Frames are the worst way to make websites!

An Iframe is ok but sperating the website with frames is the worst way to do it. You have to make tables. That way, the website will look cleaner and work faster.

But you cannot include content from an external website in tables, without using a server side script, so frames (in this case) would be better.

What I meant is that you can use an Iframe tag but don't make your website with frames.

Anyway we're out of the question here....
