Is it worth adding vblogetin on the site? I checked it and it looked too tabular to my tests

I've added it to www.locoforum.com
it's only 50$, I guess if you have 50$ to spend, then it's worth it..

If you have a community that wants to blog, ya its a great script.

I was under different impressions when I first bought it.. I had planed on using it here and replacing the wordpress blog. the way the vblogetin is setup, I thought the blog was setup a different way,, I thought you could have your main page like they have, but actually they are using an unbranded version of vBa for the front page

anyways.. I guess what I'm saying is, yes, I think it's worth the price.. It's a nice script and you wont find anything like it for free.

You should think long and hard before putting a blog on a forum. I would say that most forums are not in need of a blog and in fact would be hurt by them. A blog is like the opposite of a forum. A blog is personal while a forum is community. Blogs are so easily available now that it's almost pointless to offer them. Unless of course your forum happens to be geared toward such a thing.

good point CM

You don't want to take away from your forum ;) You want users to still make tons and tons of post in the forums.

not have a 40 page blog, but I guess if your making money and getting indexed, does it really matter ?

Excellent point! thanks a lot for this, I know now what I need on my forum ;)

Anything that removes the Forum aspect of a Forum, such as a blog, can only hurt the site as a whole. Try to find yoour niche, and stick to it. There simply is no need to add a blog to a forum.

I've seen some large sites with blogs or journals and they are doing very nice.

And I have seen many large forums with blogs/journals which are complete failures :P

A good example of a community with Blogs is SitePoint - it is a major source of content for the site.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue for or against the usefulness... but if you have any questions regarding the software itself let me know.
