Hi,

I have an existing rails application and would like to add a blog to  
this, does anyone know of any code that has already been written for  
this purpose?

Thanks  
Scot

Assuming that none of your current setup conflicts with the setup that  
the  
blog software comes with, you can use any of the multiple rails blog  
applications that are available. The one I hear mentioned the most is  
Mephisto.

You could also try Scratch or Typo.

Hey Scot,

I haven’t used it myself but the Comatose plugin =\>  
[http://comatose.rubyforge.org/](http://comatose.rubyforge.org/) sounds like it would fit the bill nicely.

HOWTO for a blog =\> [http://comatose.rubyforge.org/how-to/create-a-blog](http://comatose.rubyforge.org/how-to/create-a-blog)
