blog software

[Globalart4u]

am looking for a cheap, well free if possible, blog software for a new site but would need to have a gallery for pics and comments on it. Does such a software exist and if yes which is the best?

I'm sorry; I don't know. I use www.blogspot.com for a free blog, but it isn't connected to my site.

Wordpress is easily the best.

Hosting and setting up yourself is very easily, and although no blog software platform comes with an image gallery pre-installed, Wordpress has a few options you could apply.

I see - you want the blog to appear in the root folder - so a visitor to the domain is automatically on the blog?

In which cause, you'll need to do 2 things:

1. In the Wordpress admin settings, change the blog URL from pointing to a wordpress folder to the root folder
2. Move all of the wordpress files from the wordpress folder to the root folder

That should move your install so that it shows propery as soon as anyone visits the domain.

(Presuming I've understood what you meant. ).
