Advice needed about blogs.

I want to add articles (approx 1,000 words) every month or so to a page on my website and have been told that a blog is the way to do this easily.

Whenever I add a new article I'd like to be able to archive the old one, but make it easily accessible to anyone visiting my site.

I have no idea who which is the best blog provider for this, or how I go about installing it onto a specific page on my website (I assume there's some HTML code to copy and paste?).

Any advice gratefully received...

    I second wordpress. Mrs lfc321 uses it and it's great. Easy to use if you want to keep it simple, but still very customizable if you want to get into it more heavily.

    Thanks guys. I checked out wordpress but I can't see how I can add it to an existing website.
    I don't want to create a new website with their templates, I simply want to add a blog to the website I already have.
    Is there a way of doing this?

    Maybe use something like Blogger but add a link from your web site?

    If you used a button / or just new tab with embedded blogger url would that do you?

    Wordpress requires that you must upload files into your FTP area, create a MYSQL database and then follow the on screen installation that wordpress provides

    Unfortunately its not just a cut and paste job. If you want it to fit in seamlessly with your website you need to customise the templates
