The way I see it you have a couple of options for including a blog on your site.

Roll your own
Install Something Like Wordpress
Use a hosted service like Tumblr

Obviously, if you can get away with Option 3 you have done yourself a favor.

I have been using Tumblr and pointing blog.mydomain.com to the domains.tumblr.com CNAME to get a free blog that looks like it belongs to my site. I want to be able to display my blog on my root level hostname like mydomain.com/blog.

The whole point of moving from blog.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/blog is for SEO purposes.

Whats the best way to go about this and still get to leverage a hosted blogging platform like Tumblr?
