Hi, I have two dog sites that I am looking to set up a blog on and I want to allow comments but want to keep spam at bay. Does anyone have any good experiences with any particular non commercial joomla blogging software? Cheers, Bruce
Joomla actually allows you to have a blog by simply creating a menu item and assigning it to the blog type layout. Here's a how to http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_create_a_blog_using_Joomla! but you do also have some blog extensions on the Joomla Website. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/blog I would first go through the how to, if that doesn't work for you, then a extension could be a good alternative.
The How To Create A Blog using Joomla! page is empty. Believe the ! got left off : http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_create_a_blog_using_Joomla!
Hi, you can use LyftenBloggie also for blog. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/blog/9883 thanks 2webros
it's explain best way to free joomla extension. http://blog.triphp.com/business/project-management/10-of-the-best-free-joomla-extensions.html try this.
You can use MyBlog component or LyftenBloggie component. MyBlog is Paid extension and LyftenBloggie is free. Praful
I have heard of LyftenBloggie before and it may be the way to go. to webxprt - I know that in prnciple you can create a blog style page in joomla with the existing set up, but i have heard that it doesnt handle comments, spam filtering and a few other things too well. I am still unsure if I will allow commenting as besides spam dont their URL sigs take link juice away from your site, rather than providing an seo benefit? I just had a look at LyftenBloggie extension page and its got some very bad reviews. In fact very few positive things are said ... can it be that good - as I am not a developer nor have the skill or time to debugg apps ...
Easyblog or Myblog best for joomla, but as said earlier Joomla itself can be used as a blog without any additional extensions.
I agree that K2 is the best blog for Joomla. We're using K2 and you can see how it performs at our blog: http://joomseller.com/blog.html
Check out the Joomla extention directory. Their is only a few blogs to choose from. But it depends on what you want whether you wanter a user creation blog or Just a blog layout.
Please tell me version of Joomla. have you a joomla 1.5 or 2.5. there are different extension for blogs which have a different version of Joomla.
If you use Joomla 1.5, time to move one, because you won't get any update anymore. To blog, i would stick with Joomla itself, or go with K2. If you need one day to create a directory or a coupon system or whatever else, with k2 installed, you ll be already set. K2 is free and quite easy to customize !
