Trying to add blog functionality without adding a new site


Recommended Posts

I have a site configured with prestashop 1.6 housed on startlogic.  URL is:

http://www.jewelrybyalison.com

 

Using a theme called: Jewelry Prestashop Theme - PRS010015

 

What I'd like to do...

 

I'd like to publish articles periodically, and have them indexed on my site so people could look at them.  I could use something like a blog post, but I would prefer not to maintain 2 separate sites e.g. a blog site AND my retail jewelry site.  If possible, I'd like to have a section of my site behave differently so I could go in there and create articles that could be linked from a list perhaps?

 

This other/older site I have shows an idea like what I mean:

http://www.jewelrydesignsbyalison.com/articles.html

 

A newsletter wouldn't really work I don't think, because it wouldn't save the content on the site.  Ideally I'd like to use the content as reference for customers, but also to drive SEO to the site.

 

Any ideas will be hugely appreciated.  If there is a way to create a modified page - I could theoretically link it from the 'top horizontal menu' item.

in some Cpanels have blogs to install in same your URL

 

you can link with your shop as blog. it will be like this http://www.jewelrybyalison.com/wp

 

or you need , to download "wordpress blog" and upload it to your Cpanel and install it.

you just need who work with you step by step, that you can publish your articles.

 

or you can contact your web host to help.

Hmm, thank you everyone.  Not sure if the first few got the idea, but abady seems to get it.  I don't want to maintain a separate site - just have something like:

 

http://www.jewelrybyalison.com/blog  or http://www.jewelrybyalison.com/articles

 

And, I want people to be able to search for the content from my site.

 

I'll look at the cpanel piece first and see if I can figure it out.  Already kind of broke the bank buying the theme and add on for customization.  I need to be able to do some of this configuration myself! ;  )

 

Thank you!

OK - I tried the item suggested here:

 

 

This is really cool, and the install was easy.  I have the blog as a page off my main site, and even added the link to the top horizontal menu easily.

 

The hard part will apparently be figuring out how to configure the page.  ;  )
 

Off to read the documentation.

 

Thank you all for the input!
