I would like to know which extensions are good for Blogs
« on: August 26, 2008, 10:53:01 AM »

Hello,

I am creating a website where the primary goal would be for blogging. I am using the Periphelion launcher 1.5 for the site.
What extensions are good for blogging, easy to install and configure for a newbie like me.   

Thank you.

MyBlog

The newest version (2.0?) should have been out by now; if not already, I would expect it to release in the not-too-distant future.  Give it a look:  http://www.azrul.com

There are also a couple decent free components listed in the Joomla mothership's extension directory.  I would start with those, play around a bit, see if they serve your need, and when they don't, give MyBlog a test drive. Wink

Definitely MyBlog. I am using it on my site, and it's really user friendly for the users, and administration is a sinch.

I am using Idoblog Pro from www.idojoomla.com on my site and this Blog works perfectly in my eyes. The second reason for Idoblog for me was the extremly fast Development of this Programm. In a few days there will be a new version with large Community Features come out.

To see Idoblog in Action see www.veggie.de
