The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

The author has provided some excellent support! I was directions to customise Facebook comments colorscheme for dark backgrounds to use until the admin interface has colorscheme added. Great product, and super value for money.

I bought this extension a while ago and at the moment I have been using it for about a year. The extension works great and the extra modules jaggyblog offers are very useful (latest post, social media share etc.) After posting 30+ pages of posts in my blog I encountered a problem. I contacted the creator of this extension and the support he offered was great. The issue was fixed in no time.

Conclusion:
- Good, to-the-point, blog extension
- Excellent support
- Great value for money
- nice extra modules available

I have used JaggyBlog for a few years. It is exactly what it says -- simple and quick to use. It has a number of modules and plugins -- all are great!!

I needed some help with placement of the READ MORE link and Ross (the developer) was right on it with a quick fix!!

Excellent component. Excellent price. Excellent support!

It's fantastic component. I love it! No bugs and many plugins! Thanks to developer for this great extension!

I found the product easy to install and use. On one site I've used it for blogging, as a News feed that the user can easily update, and as a way that the user can add, edit and remove content easily.
When I had a problem with the site (of my making not jaggyblog) the support was outstanding.
I can thoroughly recommend it!

Easy install and config. Some issues after install but perfectly managed by Ross / JaggySnake. If you want (all)simple blog functionality under one roof. Pick this one.

It works wonders. We are web developers and imagine the quality it brings in our work. Our clients are satisfied clients. You can have a look at our portfolios (www.fisheye-designs.com)

One doesn't always need endless bells and whistles. Jaggy Blog blogs, allows comments and tags and peripheral functions. All for just 5 quid. Bargain and support is second-to-none.

There are only three extensions that matched me requirements. 1-$79, 2£59, 3-£5 (surely the last one isn't up to standard - well let me say it rocks, it works with my template, and the customer support is beyond what anyone could hope for. Jubilee weekend, ross answered my email. that is truly great. give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

JaggyBlog started out as a simple little blog program but the developer continues to add to it so it's a very well rounded single-user blog program now. Easy to install, easy to use with very clean design throughout. And the "universal" style fits into my existing template without any style adjustments.

Some time ago I wrote a tutorial on how to use Joomla 1.5 as a blog, and when I got done I thought: this really IS too complicated. In order to get Joomla to behave somewhat like Wordpress I had to scout around for various extensions (some of which were no longer supported after I began using them.) It was a ton of work putting it together, and the only GOOD thing about all that: I really learned my way around Joomla.

So IMO, it's better to find a good Blog component and use that instead. I tried a few of them, free and commercial. This is the most impressive Blog component I've used. And yes, it's "commercial" but 5 euro is really CHEAP and well worth it considering all the time it has saved me from trying to make Joomla be a blog on it's own.

I installed JaggyBlog and it was already on the Menu and published when I clicked on Menu to set it up. What a nice surprise!

I'm very happy with this component.

If anybody is looking for a simple but very efficient blog extension for Joomla 2.5 this is the right choice. It can be implemented very fast and works smoothly.

Moreover I would like to prise support given by the developer. In my case at the very beginning I faced some serious problems trying to start JaggyBlog but Ross almost immediately reacted and corrected two or three files files. Thumbs up:)!

I wanted a simple BLOG for my Joomla 2.5 and found it with this plug in. compared to the other it is incredibly good. When installed I did have a conflict with the Jquery installed on the template but that was corrected quickly and effectively by the creator.

Thankyou

I have a News website...

And "News / Latest" section

I installed this extention and start to add articles to Jaggy/Blog, articles start to show at News/Latest section also...

Time being I purchased it but it useles for me..

I used this on a client site so they could add simple articles by industry leaders in Commercial Real Estate, to be reviewed by others in the industry.

This is an excellent, easy to use plugin and the support for a couple of initial issues I had were responded to and updated very quickly.

A+ Service
A+ Product

Simple purchase, download, install and setup. Takes only a few minutes at a time.

So far, I really love Jaggy blog. It's easy to setup, easy to figure out, and easy to post new articles. It's great for websites where the blog is the secondary concern. Overall, very simple program at a great price!

Many people have commented that this is a great component for the price. Although I agree, it's actually a great component, regardless of price. It is very easy to install and configure. I had one module that I had a problem with that was not his fault, but Ross responded quickly to my email and fixed it just as fast. I highly recommend this component for adding a blog to any Joomla website. It's the perfect solution.

I've purchased and used two other "top rated" blog extensions. One has become a bit "dated" without updates, and the other clutters the screen with so many extras, that the blog content gets lost. I was seeking something that would display within my templates more "seamlessly" without a lot of fiddling. This is EXACTLY what I was seeking. At $8 (US) I almost felt guilty asking for some minor support, which Ross provided IMMEDIATELY and PROFESSIONALLY. In addition to the typical blog modules - Two things I was excited to find... use of whatever editor is configured in Joomla (JCE!) and use of 3rd party plugins within the component.

I have been looking for a blog that actually delivers and Jaggy does! It is great - not to mention the price (only about $8.00). The template is simple, allowing it to blend in with any website and the category, comments, and other plug-ins make it look just as good as Wordpress.

You will not be disappointed. Don't forget to make sure the timezone is correct within Joomla or it won't work. I didn't realize that until I emailed the company and received a very quick response.

Thanks for a great component!!!

I have used various blogs in Joomla; such as myblog, Smartblog and Superblogger. This is the best deal for a blogging component. Superblogger, which is more difficult to use, setup and must use Disqus commenting costs more and does not store comments locally. With a few more bell and whistles and templates, don't be surprised to see this gem with a $25+ price tag and a 1 site license. Meanwhile, altering the template css is not much work and you can add your own templates.

I added this blog since I needed more than 1 blog on my website to keep material and categories separate and it was very similar in functionality to another, but with a streamlined backend.

Ross replied quickly.

If I could change one thing, it would be to use jomcomment as well as jcomment, but that is a want and not a necessity by any means. Its built-in comment system is very good.

This blog is simple to use and that is a big plus, especially if you need to train someone how to use it or to ad it to other websites.

The fact that you can use it more than once is a huge plus too.

From what I see, this blog is relatively new. I can tell because the component uses the sites folder and the date it was added was about a year ago. Often, extensions are a better deal during this period and so is the licensing.

SEO?
It creates page titles to each blog entry that match the page title...just like it should and keywords can be added to any article.

Thanks Ross,
Kent

Great, great, great component! Simple to use and does what it says. The only reason it is 4/5 stars is because it is not 1.6 compatible. The creator got back to me very fast when I was unable to install on 1.6 and let me know. Great customer support.

I was told 1-2 months is a tentative completion time.
