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. www.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?
