There are so many sites that offer free blogs FTH will not have one. You can link to a third part blog or use iframe to include a third party blog on your site.
Thank you,

An example third party blogging site would be blogger.com... you could just link your blog into your website.

One of the issues I ran into was that some don't allow the iFrame approach. WordPress blocked me. There is PHP code they provide to embed WordPress content. But, I did not even attempt as I assumed that would not work properly. I did find a widget that would display feeds from various places. That works, but is still not very user friendly.

Any chance of integrating a feed widget? That would allow showing feeds in a user friendly way.

I found my solution by using a widget that allows me to embed any RSS feed into my page. The widget I found was called Feedwind at feed.mikle.com/ . It allowed me to create an embed for my front page that reads the feed from WordPress and scrolls the stories on my front page. I will write up the steps if anyone is interested.

I am sure there are similar solutions, but this one worked.
