Blogs are great tools for quickly publishing snippets information.  Everyone from children to small businesses love them and even large corporates have adopted an emotional relationship to this new catch-word; 'blog.'

What I find pretty funny though is that in the recent rush to get blogging, a lot of people have jumped into platforms like blogger or wordpress without considering scalability.  Now, that's not to denounce the merits of blogging or using a hosted blog service but I think that blogging should just be an aspect of commercial, as well as personal, online presence.

In this series of posts, I'll be examining Joomla as a next-level platform for blogging - that extends the simple function of quick-publishing by allowing articles to be longer and inter-related whilst offering the ability to plug-in additional site features and functions as needs of a website grow beyond verbal diarrhea.

There's Really No Need for Extensions for Basic Bl posted by I hate Spammy Bots but I Like on 2008-02-02 To quote the Compass Designs page - "Right now, there is no robust and feature rich blog extension for Joomla that will fufill the core features that is needed in a blog, and does it as a native (not a port) extension." My rant - it is completely redundant to install a blog component on Joomla as they are essentially doing the same thing. Also Compass Designs, if you are going to link to your own blog postings/link bait have the common sense not to use your own URL in your title as it is a dead giveaway that you are self promoting and trying to be discrete about it by having a deceptive title - I'm not saying your information isn't useful, just that it would be better to say 'We have wirtten up an explanation of the best Joomla blogging practices on our site [link]' Many people have said this on the Joomla forums and I will repeat it - why do you need a blogging component for a content management system? Isn't the whole purpose of a content management system to aid the pr... Quote
