    Sorry to be a pain, but I have a request.

    At the moment the major blogs seem to be supported in the 'Latest Blog' section of the profile.

    Is there any chance that we can get this to also support Joomla RSS feeds as there seem to be a lot of people using it as a CMS/Blog at the moment.

    Joomla isn't really designed to be a simple blog though, is it? It would open up a way to abuse it for commercial gain beyond this feature's intended use. I don't see it working and doubt Shawn would say yes.

    Have you tried adding it to see if it works anyway?

    I can't see what the difference would be.

    It's pretty easy to use it as a blog, I actually prefer it over wordpress as it offers many additional features. I can't see the content being an issue, I mean what you do in Joomla you can do in Wordpress and visa versa, there are plenty of Wordpress sites that aren't even close to being personal blogs.

    Yes I've tried but it doen't seem to work, I can't see why there would/should be a difference either.

    I see them as being two very different beasts to do two very different jobs (but that's a whole other discussion) and I use both in different circumstances

    Nah... Joomla isn't (only) used as a blog, so no go on that one...

    Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go :)

    Nope, that didn't seem to work either, I guess I'll have to give up on the idea :(
