  My website is hosted by Yahoo. I would like to use the wordpress blogger on “one page” of my website. I am not sure how to do this…. can someone help? Do I have to change my domain settings to point to WordPress

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I am not clear on what you are proposing. No wordpress.COM free hosted blog can be embedded into any website. Only wordpress.ORG installs can be embedded. Please see here for the differences > http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to purchase domain mapping for your wordpress.COM blog and use the existing domain you have now then please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Thank you so much for answering. I would like to have a blog page on my website for my customers to post blogs and reviews about our books.

  I am totally new to this so I hope I am making sense. Now I did follow the steps and set up a subdomain and mapped it to “myblog.wordpress.com”

  How am I able to set up a blog on that one page of my website?

  Why not just place a link from your existing website to your WordPress.com blog? That would be the easiest in my opinion.

  Or, if your existing site is on a domain name (__.com for example) you could purchase the domain mapping option and map a sub-domain (such as blog.__.com) to your WordPress.COM blog:

  Thank you airodyssey. I did the domain mapping and mapped a subdomain to my wordpress blog. Now how do I get it to work on my website page?

  That’s a question that would be best addressed to whoever hosts your website. I can only tell you how to insert a link on a WordPress.com blog. If you are editing HTML code, it’s usually:
  <a href="http://blog.chatinternetcafe.com/">Blog</a>

  Thanks again… I am using yahoo sitebuilder to build the website. So I am guessing that domain mapping for me won’t work in this case.

  We cannot provide any support for blogs that are not free hosted by wordpress.COM. If your site has the ability to draw from a an RSS Feed then note that every wordpress blog has two RSS feeds built in.

  This is the RSS feed URL for your posts (entries) http://blog.chatinternetcafe.com/feed/
  This is the RSS feed URL for your comments http://blog.chatinternetcafe.com/comments/

  If your website is NOT equipped to draw from RSS feeds then I’m sorry but we do not provide support for that.
