Blog question

[SmackDog]

Just wondering what you all thought of adding a blog to my current site. www.smackdogpoker.com.

I am wondering if I should just add it to my current site or have it on its own seperate URL and link back and forth between it and my current site?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to what blog software I should use?

Thanks,

SmackDog

Hey,
I use http://wordpress.org for the blog on my site. Actually I ended up building my whole site around the software. wordpress is really good with search engines right away and there are also a bunch of good plugins for SEO. Once it's set up, updating and managing the content is easy. I really like the software and would recommend it to anybody looking to make a blog on their own site.

What about giving my blog its own URL though. I'm not sure I can incorporate it into my existing site.

Then I would link from my blog URL to my site and vice versa.

What about these ideas too:

1. add the blog as a subdomain, so it would be blog.smackdogpoker.com

2. get a new URL, EXample: www.smackdogblog.com and have it link to my main site smackdogpoker.com

Thanks,
