Adding a Blog

 I found these great instructions on BrianYerkes.com - 

  1. Install WordPress into your root directory as normal.
  2. Create a new ‘page’ called "Home".
  3. Then, create a new page called "Blog". Make sure the slug is "blog"
  4. Go so Settings > Reading and change the ‘Front page displays’ to Static and select your new pages, "Home" and "Blog"
  5. Go to Settings > Permalinks and change to a custom structure. This can be any structure you want but should begin with ‘/blog/’ – for example, you will normally want it to be like this ‘/blog/%postname%’ (if this does not work, you may have to fix the permissions on your .htaccess file. (check out Permalinks over at WordPress’ support forum.
  6. That’s it – you’re done! How easy was that!
  7. Now, obviously you need to make sure that you have a link set up somewhere on your site to go to www.yourdomain.com/blog/
