Copywriter with a technical question about integrating blogs on your site
I apologize if this sounds completely stupid because I barely know any developer terminology. I've started to code my website (got tired of using website builders and wanted to test ma brain) and I realized it would be ridiculously tedious to italicize, bold, make fonts bigger, etc. for blog posts.
Is there some kind of plugin I can use for the blog? How would that work? Do you insert code onto the webpage where your blog is?
Does what I'm trying to achieve make sense? LOL
Thanks all, you're always so helpful
Is it a static site (ie just HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript), are you running code server-side, or are you perhaps using something like Wordpress?
Static site
Ok - I'd honestly advise against it unless your main goal is to spend time learning how to code.
It's just a pain to go back and implement all the functionality a blog needs --> comments, categories, tags, filtering etc...
You could use a tool like wordpress to set up your blog at a subdomain/in a subfolder (better for SEO). That gives you quite a lot of freedom over the look and feel of the blog, while making editing quick and easy.
Another option would be https://www.youdontneedwp.com/ - a tool which lets you create blog posts directly from Google Pages.
There are CMS tools you could plug into your site, but I don't have much experience with them and they seem to have a bit of a learning curve.
Good luck!
Thanks so much, Louis.
I will think about those options!
