If your using a blog to help search engine results you don't want to display it in an iframe. Here's what Google says about iframes (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=72746#4):

We recommend that you avoid the use of iFrames to display content. If you do include iFrames, make sure to provide additional text-based links to the content they display, so that Googlebot can crawl and index this content.

You say-make sure to provide additional text-based links to the content they display, so that Googlebot can crawl and index this content--What do you mean to say?? what else to be done??

Please help me to do that.

I think the quickest and most SEO-friendly solution is to just have a standalone blog. Skin it to match your site somewhat and make sure that it's easy to get back to the main site. I thought about making it match EXACTLY my main site but it's too much work. You can see what I did at my site in my signature. Blog link is in the speedbar.

To include one page onto another without the use of iframes, you're left with php require/include. Bunch of problems would arrise from that due to conflicting function names unless wordpress has prefixed all of the functions and such.

If you just skin your blog to mimic your main site, it will give you much more extensibility. Sure it'll be a pain, but if you need extra functions then it could be accomplished with one of the many mods for wordpress.

So Tal what is the solution? How to integrate it on x cart?

Thanks for your support.

If you want to actually put wordpress into x-cart, then you would have to make everything work. Php session ID, cookies, login, registration etc.

If you skin wordpress to look like your site, then you can simply make a bridge which would do the same thing as integration (except for possibly registration and login), but you can still use wordpress mods without needing to worry too much on it destroying your site.

If you don't know PHP and MySQL intricately, you won't be able to bridge/integrate it. That would require a mod developer to make.
Best off just making it look like your site.

Of course skinning Wordpress is the most ideal method, but not everyone knows how.

Regards SEO, just submit your main blog URL individually, it will still get indexed by Google. Ensure you have an Google sitemap for the blog, plenty of plugins for that.

I doubt the fact you are using it inside an iframe will make much difference. As I said, my method's just a quick way of doing it.
