Omniture's blogs are a great example of theme/design integration.
Remember that your users don't care if they are on "the blog" or not,
but I recommend you make sure the user-experience is consistent enough
that they're not lost, or have to learn a new set of menus/navigation.
(Full disclosure: I work for Omniture)
I disagree. I believe a blog should not share the same design as your
corporate/marketing site. Blogs and corporate/marketing website
server very different purposes and are consumed very differently.
And, regarding user-experience, users will have a harder time
navigating your blog's navigation matches your site, opposed to
traditional blog interface conventions.
I think you evaluate your needs and what you expect for you users and
go with what's best. Here's an example from WordPress.com: CNN's
Political Ticker site - http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ That
site is hosted by WordPress.com, but design wise is integrated in with
the rest of their site. I think this works well for them.
this is sort of what I had in mind - it's really nicely done. I
especially like the loading caption "waiting for the really good stuff"
:) Maybe on the link button I can have something like:
Blogs
You Know You Really Want To
