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!
