I currently have a website, here that I want to add a news section to. I thought the best way to do this would be with a blog so I can put a title, brief description and link to the article. How would I go about implementing this considering I am using Moonfruit as an editor so I can't add much apart from HTML snippets really. Your help and advice is appreciated!
 
Holy Flash website! Just one quick question, why? I know that it disables Flash on certain browser matey, but that's gonna be a right pain to just add a blog to...
 
I know, when I started I didn't have the HTML knowledge although it makes my life a lot easier when it comes to quick editing and is an all in one solution.
 
Right...ok...Flash means your website is gonna be harder to index and maintain. Tried using a CMS like Wordpress, Joomla! etc.? They'd let you do what you want easier...
 
As you are using flash it's going to be hard to integrate a blog platform to your existing site, have you ever thought about moving away from Moonfruit? I know you said you don't have much HTML knowledge but there are services such as Squarespace which provide you with a template and a very easy to use website designer, you don't need to know HTML/CSS and it's very easy to get to grips with. They have a free 14-day trial which you don't need a credit card for, and after that they have very reasonable pricing, you can also get 10% off with one of the TWiT network offer codes (if you go to www.squarespace.com/twit it applies automatically)

Sorry for sounding like a TWiT advert, but I've used Squarespace in the past and it's really good if you don't know HTML or CSS.
 
Just found a pretty good solution. Instead of a blog, I am hosting an RSS feed on one of my servers and use an RSS feed on the site. It'not quite ideal as I can't go into much detail but it is really easy to just edit the XML file on my server! Thanks!
