Hi, I have discourse at example.com and want to host a blog at example.com/blog . How can I do that? Thanks, Michael p.s: what you suggest from SEO point of view? subdomain or subfolder?

If you insist on doing this, I recommend you deploy Discourse to a subfolder first ( www.example.com/forum ), and then you can deploy other apps (like your blog) to other subfolders. [imagem] Use a subfolder (path prefix) to serve Discourse with multiple servers sharing a doma…

I think the only way you could do this is by putting a reverse proxy such as nginx or apache httpd in front of discourse, then passing everything at /blog to another application, and everything else to Discourse.

Here is a response from Matt Cutts in email to me: pretty much everyone who has strong opinions on subdomains vs. subfolders doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They sure do have strong opinions anyway though! Sorry, I believe Matt Cutts of Google over your random link :wink:
