I cannot say enough good things about this component. A ton of plug-in and modules for presenting the blog content in anyway you need to. Super support above and beyond anything you would reasonably expect. Very flexible layout with templates and selectable features. Integrates with many other Joomla components. Give it a try, it is my default blog on just about all my sites. Clients who want to use WordPress for their blog I point in this direction as a better alternative.
StackIdeas is one of a handful of developers I've found that not only stands behind their products but goes out of the way to make sure that you have a terrific customer experience. Whenever I have encountered a problem, they have made themselves highly accessible (despite a formidable time difference) and always incredibly courteous, getting to the bottom of whatever the problem may be. They are definitely not ones to point fingers at 'the other guys' when it comes to debugging a problem on the site -- to the contrary, they are always friendly about logging into the backend to see what might be amiss.
Of course, under this great support is a great product. If you are trying to allow multiple bloggers to simultaneously coordinate on one blog, the range, flexibility and control over their functionality is superb. I did find that the component lacked some of the functionality I had expected for truly stand-alone multi-blogging (such as the ability to display a calendar of just one particular blogger's work) and would love to see that added to future versions. However, as an integrated blog -- and when it comes to support for sure -- it's excellent. Enough so that I feel it warrants 5 stars anyway.

This component is very impressive, if not to say a bit overwhelming at first. But after some time I did get used to it and learned how to set it up to meet our needs.
I did have some starting up troubles, these were addressed quickly and adequately by the support team of Stackideas. Thank you, guys!

I recently purchased EasyBlog to complement my existing Joomla website.
I was very impressed with the quick service I received when I requested my installation - especially considering it was a Sunday. I then had a few further questions that the support team answered very patiently and clearly.
I was so happy with the service that I asked the support team to assist me with another issue I had with my site (unrelated to EasyBlog) and they also helped me out with this.
I can't recommend their services highly enough. I am a tough task master when it comes to customer service, but I'd give these guys 10/10.

At SimplerWebs, we use Joomla and Wordpress to design website and blogs and because we were not really happy, including our clients, with WordPress, we decided to go with EasyBlog and because of this great extension and support, we will recommend to our Clients to convert their WordPress blog to Joomla with EasyBlog. Thank you Stackideas for this great extension and a wonderful support.
Super component. Use it for almost a year full satisfaction. Everything works great support and almost no bugs. Keep it up I'm very satisfied
Cant even begin to tell you the grief I gave these guys. They changed code to reflect disabled php functions on my server, patiently rewriting aspects of their component and helping me through it step by step. Always offering me a refund if it didnt work, no questions asked. They absolutely are the gold standard . Just buy it.
The UK has just lost its triple AAA credit rating, it been transferred to easyblog customer service team. Whatever the issue they will investigate and find the solution.
i put out a post on their forums asking where some mods were and at midnight on a friday night, i got a reply.
support - top notch.

I've been building Joomla websites since version 1.0 and have seen a lot of bad extensions in my day. I don't write to many reviews, but had to for EasyBlog.
Their support is just amazing! Mark Lee really knows his stuff and is very quick to reply to every request I made. Even helped me with a slight modification to one of their modules.
Two thumbs way up!!! Great product and great service. You can't go wrong.

This has been the most positive experience I have ever had with a Joomla module. I've had courteous staff before, but these people have gone above and beyond in their patience, speed and willingness to help when you don't have the technical know how to complete certain fixes.
I am just blown away! This was worth every penny, even though it's by far the most money I've ever spent on a module! (Or module pack I should say) I bought the Professional package and it was welllllllll worth it.

PRODUCT
=======
The highest price I've paid so far for a Joomla extension, but it is well worth it. The product does MUCH more than I needed and expected. Actually, I found it rather intimidating at first, due to my rather rudimentary knowledge of website building. But after playing around with it for a few days, I was simply amazed at what I could do with it, and with what simplity. The integration with social media is formidable. My website looks even better now, and with an improved social media advantage.
SUPPORT
=======
To top it off, their support is absolutely first class. I ran into several problems (my outstanding ignorance again!), and they were truly marvelous: fast and efficient. They even offered to access my site from the control panel to solve one of my problems.
I'd love to give them a six-star rating, but sadly the maximum here is only five!
