Desperate help needed with blogging/web site question
Hi everyone,
I have a client who wants to make a blog. I am not personally into blogging, so I'm not too familiar with it.
I have looked into services such as Wordpress and Typepad (which she currently uses) but she has a need that these can't deliver:
She wants the web site to be centered around her blog; she wants the header of her blog to be able to have menus and interactivity (a Flash menu, actually). Wordpress and Typepad won't let you do that, as near as I can tell; you can just have a static image as the header.
We need to be able to use some sort of service like that, so she can get on in the middle of the night if she wants to and make an entry, and not have to wait for me to put it up. I have thought about using Contribute, but this may be too difficult for her to master.
We also need the RSS and feedburner capabilities, which are automatic in Wordpress and Typepad.
Does anyone know of any blog software that will allow you to make and host a blog on your own web space, with these capabilities? Or any blog service like Typepad or Wordpress?
I have thought about building a web site with frames (though I don't like that idea) and having the center frame call the blog page from Typepad and displaying it that way, but this seems like a clumsy solution.
I see lots of blogs that have menus across the top (example: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/), that appear to have been built in Wordpress, so I feel dumb telling her it's not possible. But I can't figure it out!
She is very pushy and I'm getting desperate. It may be that I'm out of my league, but I'm trying to pick this up quickly. If anyone has any pointers, I will be eternally grateful.
Thanks!
