I use the inbuilt ECT CMS which I find more than suitable for what I require. Have you looked into the ECT CMS (Content Regions)? https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/content-management.asp I see your site is asp but WP is a php software so I think there will be some migration of stuff from asp to php required, eg: database. This may be a place to start. https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/wordpress.asp Steve Manchester UK Remember, if you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em! Edited by - 1818charlie on 07/05/2022 10:26:29

Adding a blog isn't just about adding a blog; there are loads of pitfalls, benefits & maintenance to consider as well as the time involved in a blog. A couple of questions to ponder are - A. What is the overall aim/reason for adding a blog? If it's purely for SEO then it's the completely wrong reason. B. Does the site contstantly get fair traffic volumes which would warrant a blog? If not sack the idea. On the other hand adding a blog may very well up the traffic & turn out a great investment but it needs a lot of time & effort, & as we all know time = money.

Vince is away and has limited access, but may be able to offer some additional information. As Steve mentioned, perhaps there is another option for adding this feature to your existing site. David
