Adding Your Active Rain Blog To Your Website
I was reading a BLOG
about one method of adding your blog to your website. I would
like to also offer you two more methods which may work for you.
- I have a website for another business I own, and I wanted
to add a discussion board. I created the board, then went
into the area that lets me create new pages for my website.
When you add a new page, you get the link either on the left
hand side of your web page, or you get those little boxes that go
across the top. My site has the little boxes. When
you choose to create a new page, you are also offered the option of
linking an outside page to that box or link, which is what I did.
When someone clicks on that box/link it takes them straight
to my discussion board. You can do the same thing with your
blog....just create a link that says "Blog" or title it anyway you
choose, and you have a direct link which appears as a page on
your website.
- For those of you who have software that allows you to
create images/banners, you may create you own image, whether it be a
text image, or a picture image, then add that picture to your website
with a direct link to your Blog. There are some sites on the
web that allows you to create linking banners too, especially if you
have have a MySpace page, they have all kinds of sites for creating
interesting images/banners which you may add links to.
If you know how to create an image/banner, but do not know how to add
links, you can do a search on the web for basic HTML commands.
My favorite way is to use NVU.com software, which is a free
HTML editor which works very much like a word processing program.
Go to NVU.com and download the free software, then go to the BLOG
I wrote explaining how to use this software. It took me a
short while to figure it out once I used it, but we are all strapped
for time, so I thought I would write a quick tutorial for the basics.
I will probably re-write that blog now that I have been using
the software for several months and I am now much more familiar with
it. Keep an eye on my blog for the new tutorial.
Hopefully, I will have this done in the next week.
If not, I will get on it after the Thanksgiving Holidays.
NOTE:
I recently changed companies for ethical reasons, and will be
re-writing my Active Rain page, but need to leave it as is for a short
while (an explanation is on my Active Rain page). I will also
be creating a new website, and as most of you know, this can take a bit
of time...it will be coming soon!

Quote:
"To
laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the
best in others, to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy
child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one
life has breatherd easier because you lived. This is to have
succeeded." - Ralph
Waldo Emerson

I agree I love NVU it's a wonderful editor that can quickly convert my information to HTML. I hired someone to do my new website launching soon and told them they have to incorporate my AR blogs.
