Re: vblogetin is it worth?


BTW, back at the thread starter, vBlogetin uses table designs because it is the only sure way of matching the site's layout. It's not difficult to modify templates to your liking - they are there as a guide. Had we went the CSS route (which I prefer...) it would be a disaster on half of the sites.

Once I get some spare time I am going to release some cleaner blog templates, such as the ones we use on the home page. They will probably take a bit of tweaking to match each site, but it is a step in the right direction. They'll never be a part of the core product though.

We are also building an API for sharing the blog data... for example, my blog is using the data from my blog at vBlogetin.com. It's mostly for admins (because it's not easy to set up) but it's another tool which can make the whole vBulletin layout problem much easier to solve. Currently you can get the data by hitting the PHP script with some parameters, but we are going to have it so you can include it on say, the home page of your site, with a few only lines of code. This is data only of course.

Sitepoint doesn't have blogs for members. It's only for their code journalists. And it's not integrated with the forums in any way.

Re: vblogetin is it worth?


Nobody says you have to offer blogs to all your members... I would only personally want staff members to blog, but that is up to the admin. Forum integration is a plus... easier for the admin to manage (which is why it is so requested in the first place).

Re: vblogetin is it worth?


I am a fan of getting my forum members to blog on other domains, or other sites. Your hard core forum members will always add your forum to there blog roll.

If you know one or two true experts that is an active posted on your forum, introduce him to blogging. Offer to install wordpress, buy the domain name and host his blog in exchange for a link back to the forums.

Blogging is an amazing way to get one way links, but they wont do you any good if you are hosting all the blogs on your forum domain.

Something to think about
