I am currently converting a site from Joomla 1.0.13. While converting to Joomla 1.5 I realized it was time to get a new blog component. I surfed the list on Joomla's site and landed on Easy Blog. I must have sent over 30 questions to customer service before buying the product. They could not have been more helpful!! The staff is amazing. Once I purchased the product...the Easy Blog support team held my hand through the upload process and even converted my old blogs into Easy Blog! No issue, no worries and it was done in no time at all!
In addition to the exceptional customer support, the product is wonderful. It is easy, intuitive and chuck full of features even for a relative novice like me. When I needed some minor changes, the Easy Blog staff even furnished me with the applicable code.
If only everything on my website was this simple! 5 stars for a phenomenal staff and a fantastic product!!!!!!!

I recently set up a new Joomla website for my wife's new business and selected Easyblog as the extension of choice.
I'm not a programmer but found it really easy to add EasyBlog into the Joomla library and immediately started using it.
Had some questions and tech support has been super.
Highly recommend the program.

Thank you Milt :)
I have been a designer and using Joomla for 4 years. I have dealt with a lot of module and component developers and this one is definitely one of the best.
The component is top-notch, easy to install and set-up, and just works as described. The developer also strives very hard to keep the component up to date and releases new builds on a regular basis.
As if a component that works isn't enough the support received is something every business should strive for. I have had a few little issues with upgrading and the response time was quick, and they fixed the issue no questions asked. That is a sign of a company truly devoted to their product.
I look forward to seeing what else they come up with.

Thank you for your kind words!
I have been designing web sites since 1998. I tried Wordpress and Easy Blog and I think EasyBlog is much better than any blog available. Also, their support is great. I sent two emails and they helped within 24 hours. I am not affiliated with them this is a very honest opinion. I really recommend using EasyBlog.
Owner's reply
Thank you :)
Easy to install, easy to use, but extremely robust and flexible.
This is THE BEST blogging tool for Joomla. Period! You found it.
Quick story about EasyBlog support.
1. I was trying to get it to search tags when using native Joomla search. I couldn't get it to work.
2. Searched their Forums. (Really nice forums, by the way). Nothing.
3. I opened a support ticked at 1:55 PM ET, asking if it was possible to search TAGS.
4. At 1:58 PM ET (3 Minutes Later!!) I got a reply saying, sorry not possible at this time. (Bummer) But asking me to be specific as to what I was after so that he was sure he understood.
5. I replied at 2:02 PM. Thanking them for getting back to me.
6. At 2:21 PM, 26 minutes after I opened the support ticket, I got an email that "apologized for taking so long to get back to me", and had a custom "search.php" file attached that fixed my problem.
They added a feature in 26 minutes!!
Bottom line. BUY THIS Component!!! You will be very happy you did.

This was easy to install with great documentation. I did have one glitch and needed support. I was contacted and the issue was resolved in less than one hour! Turn out it was an issue with my settings and when they fixed that it fixed another extension that I was working with too. Great Product - FANTASTIC service - highly recommended. Kudos to the team.

Thank you!
We highly recommend this Joomla extension for any company looking to add a professional blog to their Joomla website. The EasyBlog extension is very powerful and easy to use. Great product!
Owner's reply
Thank you :)
I wish every company everywhere had this level of support. Nothing is more frustrating working on something for days and feeling like you are all alone with your frustrations. I have successfully used EasyBlog on two websites and with the help of the support team have pushed the boundaries of what it can do.
They come out with frequent updates and just came out with 2.0 beta, which I am very excited about. The support team listens, they help, they are responsive, and the product is very easy to use and works.
GREAT product, GREAT support.

Thank you! We try to make our products as user friendly as possible allowing any non technical person to easily customize their blogs for Joomla!
It's been a long time since we had that much fun with a component (and we did try another blog before).
EASY to install, EASY to set up and use, EASY to adapt and EASY to get support (lightening speed), EASY to translate. We are impressed.
Pricing is very fair, considering you can use it on all your Joomla sites. If you like to blog - take it EASY ;-)

Thank you! This is why we actually named it EasyBlog :)
We have been looking for a blog extension and, after of test some of them, we decide to work with this one because no problem installation and easy to use by admins and our client. We had to ask for technical support cause of we needed to customize the interface for Spanish language and the answers and concern were really excellent. Congratulations folks!

Thank you very much for your feedbacks!
After years of using MyBlog, I switched to Easyblog and found it to be a refreshing change. For starters, the support is outrageously great! Chances are, though, that you won't even need it. The extension is so well laid out and simple to configure that even newbies should be able to get a great looking, incredibly robust blog up and running. Finally an extension that brings the power and ease of Wordpress to Joomla!!!

Thank you very much for your feedbacks!
I am really pleased with this great component. I used MyBlog before, but now I happily switch to EasyBlog. It's integrated with JomSocial even better then Azur's MyBlog. It is really worth its price. And the support is the best I ever had comparing to forums of other paid components! Very quick and professional. Than You guys!

Thanks for giving us a try!
I'm ecstatic.
I've used before other commercial blogs component. And a very long time searching for a replacement. Easy Blog - it's a beautiful, flexible, easy to use component for both the administrator and users. Integration with popular components of the forums, social networking and comments. I am impressed with tech support. All issues have been resolved qualitatively and, most importantly fast. Thank you guys. I look forward to further development of your product. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

This is a blogging component that can be relied on by all levels of users.
For the beginner the installation is simple, after installing the component is shows the few steps that are required to personalize the blog. The default setting are appropriate and can be used as is.
For the Advanced blogger there are many features that make this a true blogging component, not just an article content creator. In addition to the default commenting system, there is easy integration for the major Joomla! commenting components as well as commenting service such as Intense Debate and Disqus.
What makes this a true blogging component is the extensive integration of META Tag management, Pingomatic , Trackback URLs, Akismet, ReCAPTCHA, AUP, and Social Sharing.
I was looking for a fully featured blogging component with excellent support I could rely on and found it in EasyBlog.

I recently purchased EasyBlog as a replacement for MyBlog which does not appear to be supported anymore. I installed it without issue, migrated the existing blogs over no problem and integrated the component into my site with ease. I am very happy to say the least.
Yesterday evening I updated my JomSocial component and something strange happened to my EasyBlog installation. No worries though as the StackIdeas support is incredible - everything is fixed and working perfectly.
Based on my experience with EasyBlog I have purchased EasyDiscuss as well. Highly recommended.

I have been looking for a blog extension to joomla and it seemed that EasyBlog was by far the most popular.
I Downloaded and installed the product with no issues but as soon as I tried to save a post it came back with an error.
I sent an email to support and within 20 mins had a reply back from Jack and a solution within a couple of hour. On a Saturday afternoon!
From purchase, troubleshooting to live site in a couple of hours. I have never had support as efficient or fast.
The product is brilliant to use. 5 stars from me!

EasyBlog support is off the charts. My site was not up to date so the install failed. My fault right? They did a manual install for me without me having to ask, to get the blog running, then told me what I needed to do to get the site updated. That's going the extra mile. Thanks!
Owner's reply
Thank you for the support!
I had to hack the component a little to customize the layout and remove some of the bells and whistles. The code is extremely clear and well-structured and is clearly made by real professionals. For most of the hacks I just had to make a copy of an existing theme and modify it.
This is one of the best Joomla components I've dealt with.
