Recommendations : blog & web site combo?

Hi;

I have a friend who is not very technically literate who wants to have
his own domain. He wants to have a blog and a few static web pages
with that.

I was thinking one of the free blogger services might be best for him.
My questions are:

1. Will any of them, for a free, map his domain to his blog?
2. Allow him to have some static pages/space as well in his blog in
his domain?

If not, what would be the easiest route to go for my friend?

What was that web browser (Internet Explorer based, I think) which was
designed for blogging, etc?

Wordpress is a very cool blog software, and it allows creation of static
pages. There are lots oh hosting services providing this tool :

Just need guidance on why to use Dreamweaver with PHP. I am using HTML kit or notepad and, of course, Google. Usually use the languages and objects for hitting...

A friend wants me to set him up with a "blog". I could create a database-driven site using ASP.net and a few forms but I gather there are tools for just this job. Any recommendations? Nothing fancy, and a mainstream product would be preferred. -- #################### ## PH, London ####################

In forms with large number of combo boxes, I leave row sources empty until the on got focus event...

Hi, Can anybody recommend a combo box control (textfield + dropdown list) for ASP.NET? I have looked at some products and it seems they all have some problems. I haven't yet found a combo box control that works on IE, Firefox and Opera. I am open to commercial and open source projects.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
