Hi,
I am designing a website on Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 04', and I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate a blog into my front page. I know some basic html, but I am unfmilar with any other internet language/code. Could anyone recomend a blogging service such as Blogger or Typepad that can be easily Integrated into a webpage?
Thank you in advance.

seeing from your post i would recommend not trying to make a template or even trying to make your blog service into a content management system...
you know "basic" html? use an iframe and direct the source at your blog. set some height/width parameters..
WHAT YOU WOULD USE
<iframe src="http://blogger.com" width="10" height="500">Your browser cannot display frames</iframe>
FOR VALID xHTML CODE USE [don't use this b/c you are basic html user...but learn from it hopefully you will learn html]
<iframe src="http://blogger.com" style="width:10px;height:500px;">BLAH</iframe>
if you have a "site" why not use the blog as a CMS anyways...
Thank you so much for the code and the iframe displays my blog. However, I was wondering if it would be possible for the iframe to display only a selected amount of text or if text from the blog could be syndicated on my site with no frame, which would fit the design of my site more easily.
P.S. I just checked my Blogger account and they offer a free service caleld "Atom formatted XML". Could I use that?
"Atom formatted XML" is for feed syndication works w/ most RSS readers...
You cannot display select amounts of text or w/o a frame unless your website utilizes a cms that allows a "side blog" or "link blog" of some sorts
Pwnzrzpat,
Sorry to bother you again, but could you please direct me to a web page which could explain how to intergrate Atom/RSS into my website?
Thank you so much for your help.

Try Wordpress, its a blog scipt, its easy to install and use. If you want more than just bloging you might wanna consider other cms. http://www.opensourcecms.com/ & http://wordpress.org/
Thanks TonicX for the links. Looks perfect for my website!
@tonic: i don't think you can use any CMS to contain a blog hosted by blogger...
@htmlishard: atom/rss are feed syndications that you can manually make or have a CMS auto generate for you...it is an XML file read by the reader... you can use link tags so the readers that have auto detection can detect it...blogger blogs already have an rss/atom feed don't they?
if you use a LiveJournal paid account, they have many options about intergrating your blog into your site. Maybe worth a look? http://www.livejournal.com
