Can I host my WordPress blog software on my BigBlackBag website?

Unfortunately we cannot host WordPress blogs at this time as we do not support the necessary server requirements to do so.
You can either use a WordPress hosted blog (they do it for you) or find a cheap web host to do it yourself. WordPress recommends the following web hosts.
Once you have your blog hosted elsewhere, you may incorporate it with your BigBlackBag web site in the following ways:

Import Your Blog
You may use our External Web Page asset to import your blog right into the Content Window. Be sure to test it thoroughly as some features may cause problems in either platform. Also be aware to keep your blog from displaying too wide and creating horizontal scroll bars in the Content Window.

Link To Your Blog
You may also use our External Web Page asset to create a link to your blog directly from the Navigation Links of your web site. Alternatively, you may link to your blog from a Links asset or from any hypertext or image you place using the Text/HTML Editor asset.

A Sub Domain For your Blog
To really look professional, we can set up a sub domain to your blog. A sub domain would look like the following: http://blog.yourdomain.com or http://www.blog.yourdomain.com. There is a one time $25 fee to make DNS changes such as this. Please note, we will need you to supply us with the URL or IP address of your blog to achieve this.

Please note that we cannot provide you http://www.yourdomain/blog as this would mean the blog is hosted on our server. And though you may find this disappointing, it isn't actually all bad. One of the main reasons to have a blog is to garner more traffic and having two separate, but linked web sites, can actually give you more exposure and do different but complimentary things for your business.
