I am not sure quite what I am looking for here, but I want to embed a blog into my already existing website, unlike LiveJournal and WordPress. I have http://www.justme13.net and I want to host a blog on the site, with the entires going into the shaded white box on the right hand side of the screen, rather than having an out of place looking blog with a different layout. Is there something that can do this? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Actually, you can embed LiveJournal and WordPress into your layouts. :)

However, I've found that the blogging system that's easiest to integrate is CuteNews, which can be found here: http://www.cutephp.com

AH, fantastic. Thanks so much. Plus, WordPress was wasting one of my MySQL databases(my current plan only has 10) so I'm really glad Cute News doesn't use MySQL, yay! I have downloaded it and I'm going to set it up and see how it works, thanks again!

Yep! Set it up really quickly and everything is working, however, one issue(just with my code) has arisin and I wanted to see if you could take a look at it. The blog is at http://www.justme13.net/blog.php and on other pages the <p> tag is set to have margins so that all content appears in the white box on the right side, however the cute news php script doesnt want to obey the tag, lol, any ideas?

Okay, when you log into CuteNews, go to Options, then Edit Templates and click on Active News. All of those links [Active News, Full Story, Comment, Add Comment Form, News Pagination and Comment Pagination] will open up a box where you can edit the template that your posts show up in. If you edit all of those, it'll all show up the way you want. :)
