Best way to integrate Blog into Website?

Having gotten past the CSS hurdle, my next project is to build a complete custom designed site with an integrated blog. I have looked at options taking this from the other direction, such as customizing Wordpress to the extent that it functions as both site and blog. I've also looked at Joomla. But these solutions I feel are going to present more problems when I want to add additional CMS, shopping cart and other things.
Another solution would be to create the site, then install Wordpress into a subfolder where the Blog link on the main nav mane would link to that. This would be OK, except now I'd be running into customization issues with the Blog UI as well as navigation back to the main site. It would still have that feeling of disconnect, being essentially two separate applications.
Ideally, I'd like to have the Blog just be it's own page, or subfolder within the main site - but rather than just providing a feed to that page, be able to retain all the features of the blog including the admin section of Wordpress as well as RSS syndication. Podcasts may enter into the picture as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on this from either experience or brainstorming? Any input appreciated!

To first answer the above question, it took me about a month to "learn" CSS. But that doesn't mean that I could create a site from scratch as I am a subscriber to WebAssist's extensions library. So I cheated. While it does the heavy lifting, I still needed to acquire enough knowledge along the way to be able to modify and customize - and not just in a hacking sort of way, but actually grasping what is going on with the code.
These are very valuable tools, but not without their drawbacks. For example, I'm not sure if I'm fully prepared to take on other projects based on CSS, say, Wordpress themes! I'm sure I cojuld - that I know have the necessary foundation, but I'm looking at another learning curve of indeterminate length.
So, yes, I can see where going to WP route may be the overall better solution in the long run. Outside of customizing the UI, there are many other things I can't seem to get my head around, as stated above. But if I were to go in that direction, would it also be worth it to look at Joomla?
And if I decided to stick with my original solution, at least for this project, is there a fairly easy way to do it? Basically, all I'd want for the Blog page or section is just the content of the blog - the articles, archives, tags, comments. No navigation, etc. I do realize that with this I would have two CMS interfaces - one for the site and one for the blog, but that would be OK.
Thanks for your input!

smgchandler,
Any camcorder that can connect via USB or that can save to an SD card can interface with an iPad if you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit so that you can watch your videos on the new iPad's beautiful retina display. You can find this on the Apple website or in most big box retail stores.

Hello-i have an i-mac; on the bookmark bar it has sites like news,google maps,etc. Can i add sites to that bar like craigslist or aol mail? what is the best way to go to frequent websites?

what is the best way to mark a frequent website other than a bookmark?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you click the book icon on the left end of the bookmarks bar you can manage all of your bookmarks. Bookmarks can be added individually to the bar (the shorter the name the more room for bookmarks) or you can create folders of bookmarks that can be accessed from the bookmarks bar.

What is the best way to make PSD into HTML for emails

What is the best way to make PSDs into HTML for emails? Will the new feature in Dreamweaver work for emails as well? I am using Cheetah mail, but I need to be able to turn PSDs into HTML so I can use it in Cheetah mail. I have a general idea of how to do this, but I'm stumped about where to begin.

Use PShop for images only. Use DW to create your tables and inline CSS styles.
Many e-mail clients do not show images for security reasons. So graphics heavy e-mails are not an optimal way to communicate with your mailing list.

Best way to upload form into WDA

I am working on WDA containing Adobe Interactive form with Vendor Payment request.
WDA will be called by workflow every time an approver has to approve the request.
The form will reside at URL.
What is the best way to upload an Adobe form into WDA?
I found Web Dynpro example WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY.
This example demonstrates how to get a form data assuming the form object is created in the view.
Is there a way to also upload a template into WDA?
Or I have to have the form template in SAP repository and
then assign the form name to templateSource property in WDA?
WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY:
method wddoinit.
data:
    mime_repository type ref to if_mr_api,
    content type xstring,
    url type string value '/SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY/test.pdf'.
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
call method mime_repository->get
    exporting
      i_url = url
    importing
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'PDF' value = content ).
endmethod.
Thank you,
Tatyana

Best way to integrate all services

TO ALL:
Please Help me figure this mess out.
We use the following services for our business
Windows InTune
Office 365
SQL Azure
Dynamic CRM Online
I would like to (hopefully) combine all administration functions and portals of these sites. Although I am running dated Server OS's (mostly server 2003 R2) I am hoping to upgrade to 2012 this calendar year. That is why I have not looked into
all the AD sync services at this time.
Hopefully someone has gone through this - and can advise the best way to merge all the information together.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Best way to integrate digital media to home AV system?

What is the best way that folks like these days to integrate digital media into a traditional AV system?
Let's say one has a home theater A/V reciever, dvd player, record player, HD TV and surround sound. What is the best device or devices to add on to this to access a digital music and video library? Also what is the best way to share that library throughout the house so that it can be accessed by multiple people at one time?

Hello, I see your question has been out there for a while. But I just went through this myself and would recommend the new 3rd Generation Apple TV for just this purpose. I see this is listed under an iTunes for Windows discussion group, so you may not be using Apple systems for your home computer. However, I recently purchase a home computer system with one of the main goals being to access high resolution audio files from my iTunes library and play them over our home stereo system. Using Apple's Home Sharing and their Apple TV device you can access high quality audio and video files on your home network and enjoy them over your HD TV and home stero system. You can also access these files through other devices (smart phones, tablets and laptops). I don't have any knowledge of how well the system works with non-Apple devices, but we have enjoyed it with our Apple system.

Best way to Insert Records into a DB

hi
i have around 400000(4 lakh ) records to insert into a db , whats the optimal way to do it ,
i tried it doin g using threads i could gain only 2 seconds for 4 lakh records ,suggest me a better way

Very hard thread, poor informations u give us can not help me too much to understand really the problem.
Where do u have to 40.000K (input) records?
Those records must be only added to output table?
How many rows, and how many indexes output table has?
The cost oh each insert depends also on how many indexes dbms has
to manage on oupy table.
In general to take about 2 seconds to add to a table a large amount of rows depends on many variables (hardware performances, dbms performances and so on)
If u ahve only to insert and your input secord statys on another table,
I think that a performance way to do it is insert select, so
insert into output select * from input
If your input records statys on a text file, the best way is to use
native dbms importer
Let me know something more....

I have a large kodak easyshare library, what is the best way to transfer them into iPhoto ?

I have about 5k pictures in the kodak easyshare software system on a dell laptop - what is the best way to transfer or import them into iPhoto on my iMac ? any help will be greatly appreciated...

Simply, export the data from this esy share system to standard formats like jpeg, making sure to preserve all metadata on the way. How to do that? YOu'll need to post on a Kodak forum I'm afraid.
Then copy the files to the Mac and import them.

Panasonic HMC150-Best Way To Get Footage Into FCS2, etc.

I've just ordered a new Panasonic AG-HMC150, to replace a Sony V1U.
A couple of questions while I'm waiting for it to get here: First, for anyone using this camera with FCS2, what's the best way to import footage? Should I connect the camera with the SDHC card mounted to the Mac via USB, and then use Log and Transfer? Or, is it better to use a separate SDHC card reader? Also, is it better to copy the files off of the card to an external HD first, and then use Log and Transfer?
Finally, in another forum I read that shooting in 720p (30 or 60?) yields better looking SD DVDs after using Compressor than 1080i; does anyone have any experience with this?
My current workflow is to shoot in 1080i with my V1U, capture to Pro Res, edit, and export with Compressor. For a 1 hour SD DVD, around 12-15 hours in Compressor (using the frame controls)
would be required.
I'm not concerned about any speed increases; my goal is just to have the best looking letterboxed SD DVDs I can get. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone might have. And to Shane, David S., and others: thanks for helping me choose a new camera--it seems to be highly recommended everywhere.

1. My practice is to copy the intact SDHC card to my media drive, and L/T from there. I copy is by write protecting the SDHC card first, and then mounting it with a SDHC compatible card reader.
2. 720 is the sweet spot for this cam. I shot 720/60 and usually encoded from there.
Hope this helps.
Note: Always format the card in the cam first. ALWAYS

Best Way to Move Songs into Existing iTunes Installation

I have been using iTunes on my fairly new iMac so I already have a library of songs on it. My old iMac has some songs in iTunes which are also on my new iMac and has many others which are not on my new iMac. I want to move everything from my old iMac to the new one. What's the best way to copy the music onto my new iMac and put it in iTunes? I don't want to lose anything on my new installation but I'd like to avoid duplications if possible. Do I copy my whole "Music" folder or the "iTunes" folder or the "iTunes Music" folder? And at what "level" of iTunes do I drop it in?
Thanks,
Steve M.

have you consider using _*Home Sharing*_ to transfer the content ?
another option would be 3rd party apps such as PowerTunes or TuneRanger.

What is the best way to integrate a sound file (mp3) into a PDF?

I saw that its possible to do it by Tools->Multimedia->Sound. This works fine on a computer but not a tablet. So what is the right way to embed a sound file into a PDF of maybe by Indesign? What i want is that people can easily open a document (PDF) on a tablet and when they click on a (play)icon that they hear a sound file. The best thing is that they can stop or put it on pause.

I think this functionality relies on Flash, so it's not likely it's going
to work on mobile devices, certainly not on iOS ones.

What is the best way to integrate an ER diagram into BPA?

Hi,
In the context of a conversion project, trying to understand what is the lighter and easier way to import an ER diagram into BPA. The tools I'm currently using allow me to generate any xml/text data from current models... but trying to understand the minimal effort so the main semantic of models get kept (not a big deal if fonts, positioning, layout things are lost on the way)
Attached is an example problem, would be great to see what textual representation denoting the same semantic can be accepted by BPA
My example model:
Product(prod_id (pk), name) ---* Order({prod_id, cust_id} (pk), quantity_ordered) * --- Customer (cust_id (pk), cust_name)
A customer can have 0 to many orders
A product can be ordered by 0 to many customers
A order is made for 1 product and 1 customer, and for each order we know the quantity of the product ordered
if someone has already run integration of large ERds into BPA would be fantastic help to have some hints/feedbacks on your approach best practices
kind regards
Frederic

There is a thrid party product that con convert data models between most tools, including BPA. You can find information about it here: http://www.reischmann.com/. If you just want to migrate the main objects and their characteristics and the diagram is not as important you could look at using Excel as a data transfer medium. The report "Import Data in Excel Format" allows you bring information into BPA quickly, however it is a one time conversion and won't accomodate updates. You could also look at the macro "Process Generator" which also allows for objects to be imported from an Excel SS. Either of the SS solutions will require some configuration.
