I would like to create a blog, and I want to have it in a custom URL. Moreover, I would like to host this blog in a subdirectory of my domain, i.e. myurl.com/blog, instead of a subdomain (e.g. blog.myurl.com).

My searches have shown that this is possible in both WordPress and Blogger, yet when I try to enter the custom URL, it tells me that the URL cannot end in a path. I then get told something about FTP publishing no longer being around, etc.

After chatting to some people in Freenode #wordpress , they mentioned that a self hosting WordPress blog allows you to do this.

Could someone please assist in explaining why a custom URL cannot end in a path for a blog in order to achieve this, and if I have understood something incorrectly, could one point me in the right direction?

You cannot


host this blog in a subdirectory of my domain, i.e.
myurl.com/blog, instead of a subdomain (e.g. blog.myurl.com).


in Blogger. You may have found some old help materials saying that this was possible back in the FTP publishing days, but this option was removed some time ago.

With Blogger, your only option is to host the contents in Blogger itself, and publish your blog to a subdomain (e.g. blog.myurl.com).
