Using a blog as your web page

I am working on a project and am considering just using a WordPress Blog as my web page. Can anyone please provide some examples of web pages that are run strictly from a blog (verses having a dedicated website and a separate blog).

Thank you :D

    Neil,

    There are help threads in the Pro Support forum if you have a SM pro site.

    Otherwise, what kind of blog/web page are you looking for? In other words, what does the blog have to do?

    I have a Pro SM acct. and use it, but not so much anymore as my primary. I mostly link to it from my WordPress blogs.

    I like WP blogs. There are themes galore that are free, and plenty that are cheap too. And many that are highly specialized and easily customizable.

    You mention a Web-page run from a blog?? really what is it you need the blog to do?

    Cheers,
    tom wise

    I don't wish to use SmugMug for this project.

    I already have a SmugMug Pro account. SmugMug is a great service. I just don't feel that it would be a good fit for this project. (I'm intentionally not giving out specific details for now).

    I was just wondering if perhaps instead of creating both a web page and a blog, that I could just have the blog be the main web page. The example given by Amanda (Jessica Claire) demonstrated to me that if I do go about doing it this way that I would need to use frames. As soon as you scroll down to read the rest of Jessica's blog the navigation scrolls off the page.

    Mine is only a blog but it's not where I want it right now. I've already got ideas in the works for how to make it work like I'd like.

    You don't need frames WordPress has a lot of nifty options to make a web page out of a blog possible.

    There are also wordpress themes that make "floating" menus possible.

    I just Googled: using wordpress as a website not a blog

    and got some good results, including this one.

    I forgot that you can set WordPress so that you can have a static page as the default page.

    I'm going to continue to look into different options.

    Thank you :D
