Adding standalone blog

Hi guys, I have this site built with CI.
Standard folder structure. css, img, js folders outside the application folder.
I'm replacing one of the page with a standalone simple blog (http://simpleblogphp.com/).
The folder contains hundreds of files. Right now this folder sits outside the application folder, next to the css and img folders.
I created a blog view and controller. Now when I navigate to the blog page I get errors.
To make this blog display within my site and based on the blog's documentation I'm adding this in my blog view:

PHP Code:

<?php include(base_url()."/blogger/blog.php"); ?>

Resulting in:

Code:

<h4>A PHP Error was encountered</h4>
<p>Severity: Warning</p>
<p>Message:  include() [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0</p>
<p>Filename: views/blog.php</p>
<p>Line Number: 3</p>
</div>
<div style="border:1px solid #990000;padding-left:20px;margin:0 0 10px 0;">

<p>Filename: views/blog.php</p>
<p>Line Number: 3</p>

Where else can I put that blog folder so it would display correctly?

Thank you in advance.
