INTERNET MARKETING

I have a static html site and I want to add a blog to it to help with seo and as a training tool for people.

I have no idea how that works. Is it just setting up a blog on a different domain and linking to it from my static homepage. Or is it actually a blog WITHIN my static site?

Any WSOs on how to set this up step by step?

As far as your situation is... you have two options

1. Add blog in current site/domain
i.e yourdomain.com/blog

to do this , you just need to install wordpress blog,
at 'blog' folder in your host at this domain.

(for making your blog look like the design of your static site,
you will need, custom theme for wp blog, i can help you
design a custom blog theme which make your blog look like
exactly as your static website...)

2. Second option is that you install wordpress blog at
separate domain as you said in your post...

then you will install wordpress blog at root directory...

--
But as you said you need blog for SEO purposes,
i recommend you go for option#1 , as this will make
your domain more visible in Search Engines...

May this help,

Yes, you simply install wordpress in your folder named as "blog"

Hostgator has also fintastico, so it will be few clicks install...
you even do not need to create a new folder there...

simple go to fintastico, and click Wordpress install....in that page...
where they ask where to install blog////.... write "blog" in directory field...
script will automatically create BLOG folder for you....

Best Wishes,
