@VernonKJun 08.2005 — #WordPress is probably one of the best if you are going for a straight out blog. I've also used Nucleus before but didn't care for it much. [url=http://drupal.org]Drupal[/url] although listed as a CMS is also good for blog-type sites.
A great link is [url=http://opensourcecms.com/]OpenSourceCMS[/url] where you can actually test out the applications before you would use them. They have about 10 different blog apps installed where you can check out the admin area and what the actual pages look like. They also have a plethora of CMS's that you could possibly use for the same thing.
@nae4nolaMar 02.2012 — #I have spent the past month researching and trying to figure out what is the best way to have a blog on my website.
My website is not a Wordpress site. It is built from scratch with HTML using php and css style sheets. I want to import RSS feeds to a section of a specific page on my site. These are the things that are most important when considering how and why I want to blog.
1. I want to blog to bring more traffic to my website.
2. I want to blog in order to generate revenue through affiliate marketing.
3. I want to be able to blog mobily from my iPhone.
4. I want to be able to post using photos and text, links, etc.
5. I want to be able to import multiple feeds to my blog. Original content and content of others.
6. I want my feeds to post automatically to my Website, Facebook business page, LinkedIn, Twitter (and Pinterest if possible).
7. I want to be able to edit the blog content easily after posting.
8. I want to be able to control the format in which the blog content displays on my Website page.
With that being said I struggle with where to start. Blog sites have been around for a while and Wordpress Blog sites have become increasingly popular, but I am thinking that having a separate blog website to generate rss feeds is obsolete. Or at least is should be. If everyone is using Facebook and Twitter these days, why add an extra step into sharing your content over the internet?
Questions:
1. Should I just use Facebook to generate my RSS feeds and send that data to Twitter, LinkedIn and my Website page?
2. Which way would I be able to better control the way the content is displayed on my website?
3. Which method of creating and publishing RSS feeds will generate more traffic to My Website?
4. Does is matter where the RSS feeds generate from? Would it be better in they were generated from my website instead of Facebook or Blogger, etc.?
5. Is using the DreamFeeder extension for Dreamweaver a good way to pull RSS into your site?
6. Can you use DreamFeeder to pull RSS in from Blogger or does the RSS have to be created within Dreamweaver/DreamFeeder?
6. Can you use the DreamFeeder extension to automatically generate (and post into a specific webpage) RSS feeds for specific content added to your site as well as import RSS feeds from another source into the same page?
7. Can you pull RSS feeds content into your webpage by using php include files? Is this more easily manageable?
This questions can go on and on, but the real question is: What is the best, most easily manageable way of having a Blog/RSS feed on my webpage that will generate more traffic to my website (considering of course the content to be of interest and read by others)?

Because technologies have a habit of going away or becoming irrelevant. At one point MySpace was big too. Typepad, Blogger, and LiveJournal all had their day in the sun as well.
@mayson_ratMar 04.2012 — #Creating blog with rss is simply easy. There are pre-made widgets you can install in your blog~depends blog where you wanted to create them. Squidoo has its rss button after publishing articles.
