Joomla with Wordpress

How to run a Wordpress blog on a Joomla site? It took forever to figure out. Ultimately the solution was so simple.

  • I bought Artisteer which makes templates for Joomla and Wordpress
  • I created a subdomain on my server for Wordpress, then installed Wordpress using Fantastico selecting my subdomain: blog.bostonwebcrew.com
  • I opened up my Artisteer template  for bostonwebcrew.com which is a Joomla template
  • Two clicks later it’s exported as a Wordpress template
  • Both sites now look the same
  • I’ll configure Wordpress, link to my menu items on Joomla from Wordpress
  • I’ll link to Wordpress from Joomla and put an RSS Feed on the Joomla side
  • Voila, I have the best of both worlds in about the same amount of time it took to edit Hello world!
