A potential client of mine has asked me how difficult it would be to implement a blog into the website I will be making for him. I don't know PHP, so it looks like I'll be looking for a free blog script of some sort. I was wondering if any of you could make a recommendation based on experience. There are many out there, but I would rather go by trusted word of mouth than propaganda. It doesn't need bells and whistles, in fact, I prefer it not to. A really easy install is preferred as well

I was looking at this one, but it concerns me there is no forum or support: http://www.supersimple.org/

Thanks for the help in advance

EDIT: If you know if any good guestbook scripts, tell me about them as well. Guestbooks are so... ugh IMO.

I don't know anything about that (I don't like blogs ), but what is it really?
A system that lets you post pages that visitors may comment on (and perhaps rate)?
That's really easy to make. If you know programming, you'll get php in one or two days (the basics at least, and there's great references over at [href]www.w3schools.org[/href]). It's c-styled syntax and has built-in core features that makes it easy to communicate with a sql database.

For guestbooks, it's basically the same thing.

I'd say give it a shot at doing it yourself - it's pretty intriguing in my opinion and knowing a server-side script language is always good. Just ask if you've got any questions
