Blogg-X is a cross platform (OS X, Windows XP, Linux) content management tool for websites based on the Joomla! CMS. Blogg-X runs locally on your computer as a desktop application. Utilizing built in WYSIWYG and HTML source editors you can post rich content on your Joomla! site without the use of the web browser. What does this mean? How much time does it take to post news on your Joomla! site? Using Blogg-X there is no need to log into your Joomla! site, no clicking the “Submit News” link and waiting for the page to refresh, no waiting for the Joomla! WYSIWYG editor to load. Instead just start Blogg-X and immediately start adding your content. Need image support? Blogg-X has it! Want to browse the images already on your server? Blogg-X has it! Want to remove or delete posts? Blogg-X can do that! Want to write your post now, but save it to the hard drive for posting later? Blogg-X can do that! Want to post the same content to multiple sites? Blogg-X can do that! Want to know how many unpublished posts are on the server and publish them? Blogg-X can do that! Do you have multiple users posting content? Blogg-X can be used by all of them adding content at will, even simultaneously without causing conflicts or confusion. Blogg-X simplifies the process of managing the content on your Joomla! site and does it faster at the same time. Are you a Blogger? Simply combine Blogg-X and AkoCommentPlus from Walter Cedric and you have a simple, complete, fast and spam free blogging solution!

Blogg-x is an amazingly sophisticated app that has saved us countless hours posting news to our site. Sadly the developer has not been seen in the forums since October and the last upgrade has a authentication issue that we can not fix.
Sure hope Chris gets back soon!

Updating a Jommla site is fine when you have a fast internet connection but if your only link to the outside world is a mobile phone with GPRS you're stuck. This application is the answer. Prepare your article off line and upload it in a flash. It's not yet perfect in that it lacks some functions that others have commented on (spell check would be good, I'd like to be able to change a few more of the publishing parameters and meta data) but when time is the issue you can probably manage without. The Blogg-x gives the impression of being well written and looks good to. Recommended.

I had such great hopes for this product. Unfortunately, after I installed it I was not longer able access my site, nor the back end from any of the browsers I have installed at home (IE 7, Firefox, Opera) so I am not only unable to update the site from home (I can from other locations) but I also can't even get to it to see comments people have added to it from home.
I uninstalled the application but I still get a message
?You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address."
Posted to the forumn but heard nothing back. Also sent an email via the iobinary.com website but heard nothing back.

This is a very useful too for administrators of multiple sites. If you manage sites that you frequently need to post updates to and do not need to add images then this is fast and easy to use. I was skeptical of a GPL tool like this but it does seem to do the job well so far. I think I'll be using this tool for a long time to come.
Thanks for this neat little tool.

I love it! A little quirky changing windows but I have not lost one hard written article!

I'm currently running 3 sites full-time and this product cuts my time in half.
I can't recommend it enough!

Well this is a super duper product.everything finished in a gif.great future.i registered in this site just to give a review for this product.really reduces the hardship of posting into the site.i was really lazy to follow the whole procedure of traditional posting.the best part is the uploading and using the images.In joomla it used to take me 20 mins to post ,now its 2 mins..cool ,5 stars for Blog-x
I would recommend changing the title,i ignored it most of the months :(

This program has saved me A LOT of time in updating and working on my sites. If you need to add 100 items of content to your website, blogg-x will save you HOURS. It's saved me dozens of hours so far.
Although this is a VERY nice tool, i could not manage to upload images with it (definitely, there are many people that can't solve this problem which makes the tool practically unusable if you are not one of the lucky ones that have this feature working) and it looks like the developer abandoned the project or has no time for it, nothing new on the site since Nov. 06.

In general, it is a great software,
but I believe it needs more options, e.g., I myself would like to hack the sever file to
1. avoid posting the text header when copying pasting a text into the box.
2. After posting a content, the category should be remained on the previous one.

I was amazed to see that application GUI does not support UTF8 text, its just one small setting changing font type, but obviously this mistake makes this product to be unusable for users that have categories in none english text.

Probably it is a good tool, but any attemp to work with cyricil leaded to failure.
Pray for a better version.

Very handy, very useful.
Some minor problems:
*Language (it would be so good to able to translate it!!!)
*Mosimage not usable
*Java windows
I would gave 5 star if the interface language would be translatable.
Sometimes it is not behaving like a normal windows application (open a new window under my opened windows, and I am not sure why nothing is happening). But this is because of the java window, I think.
Overall a great desktop tool specially for people who don't want to mess around the frontend/backend of Joomla, but trying to add content.

It works great but dose not support CSS, at least I did not find any support neither on the application nor on the documentation
This is the best and most useful program I now have on my computer. The best part about it is that it work not only in Windows but also at a Mac or Linux computer. I have been running it on a Ubuntu (6.10) and Windows XP computer and i work as a charm!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I'm very impressed with the ease of use with this application. Set up was smooth and uncomplicated.
Within minutes I had several sites set up. It picks up the added sections and categories with each connection.
My only request is for a spell check !!! Yes .. a spell check is a future must have for this app.
I still give it 5 stars.

Great extension -- I only wish it would include the ability to add and update Static Content -- or am I missing something.

I was at my wits end because my host has changed something, and I can no longer publish articles..nor can users submit articles. I just tried this great tool....and VOILA! I can publish my stuff...AND my users can email me their articles and I can publish them!
This was a breeze to install...and to work out how to use it...truly an amazing tool!
Thank you Blogg-X blokes!
