Hi. It's time for us to start blogging. However, I don't want to just frame a page or link to a blog created by blogger. I want it to be part of my site and preferably not on a subdomain. Ideally I want finecoastalliving.com/blog.

Is there any way to use something like blogger or wordpress and just grab the code and throw it on one of my pages? Or should I contract out someone to build a custom blog? BTW my site is in PHP.

WordPress can be customized without too much hassle assuming that you know what you're doing.

Sweet. It looks like there are instructions here http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress.

With WordPress, do they have any check & balances built in so the blog won't get spammed? I've had this problem in the past with a simple comment feature I built...

For managing SPAM in WP you can hold comments for moderation and select who is allowed to post comments.

And, this plug-in works well, just doesn't catch all of them

It's included with a standard install, waiting for activation.
