Hey Chris, it’s me again. I’ve been thinking about buying my own domain similarly to you (with my last name being the domain name and my primary Web site being first_name.last_name.com) and doing technology based Weblogs. However, I don’t really know PHP, ASP, and the like and am really only proficient in HTML (TacoHTML for Mac OS X is an awesome HTML editor). Since all blogs are dynamic and HTML is not, I was a bit stumped as how to embed a blog onto an HTML Web page.

I thought for a while and originally conceded that using IFrames was probably my only option. But then I began thinking of how I would really only want to be displaying the actual blog posts, and not the entire blog page from WordPress or some similar service. And since I know that RSS feeds contain merely blog posts and not any of the other content, I began researching how to embed RSS feeds into HTML and found a simple, albeit limited solution called RSS2HTML. Essentially, RSS2HTML allows you to take an RSS feed and make a Web page out of it using the RSS2HTML servers — thus, throwing the URL it gives into an IFrame would solve my problem.

I realize that iWeb from Apple allows you to use its own blog system, however, the last time I tried to design a Web site in it, the pages loaded extremely slowly once uploaded to the server.

So I thought I’d pass along this little tip. However, this may not be a tip for you (as you’ve been blogging for many, many more years than I have), so if you have a better solution for embedding a Weblog from a site like WordPress or Blogger into an HTML Web page, I would really be grateful to hear it.
