I would like to add a blog to my site. I am considering using a Blogger blog which my site would access (probably using the RSS feed) parse, and display using a set of my own HTML templates. I haven't spent the time to figure out how to do this yet.


It this a good idea to chase after or am I headed down dead end path?
Would I need to worry about SEO penalties for duplicate content?


I am avoiding installing a formal blog platform on my site (Drupal, WordPress, etc.).

Another approach that some people do is


re-design the blog so that it looks very much like their main site
(www.yourdomain.com)
set up blog.yourdomain.com, and redirect their blog to that
(including having menu bar links back to yourdomain.com) set up a link in their main site to the blog, pointing to blog.yourdomain.com.

That way, visitors switch between the two sites without actually realising they're changing sites.

Of course this only works if your website design is amenable to being replicated in Blogger. And if you have design changes you have to do them in two places.

This can work - but not if you have a private blog on Blogger, because they do not have RSS feeds.
