I've been using Lyftenbloggie for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with it. It's comfortable to use: logical interface and sufficient features. I haven't had any problems. It's the best of all the Joomla blog extensions, IMO. I'm putting it on all my Joomla websites.

LyftenBloggie is really a nice designed and well written Joomla Blog component. Unlike itchibahn I dont think you should use it with Joomlas core sections and categories bcs Its a blog.

I give this extension 5 stars and looking forward to future enhancements even that it today have some issues. Would be great if it could pick up where (Jpress) Tamaka stop developing 7-8 monts ago http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/tamka

Well done and wish you the best!

The design of this component is excellent, the usability is good and the only thing it lacks is integrated with other components such as boulder community, JComments, etc.. I have little time using it but so far has filled all the expectations I had in, I'll be awaiting their development and hopefully will be free for life. Thanks

It's got a tons of features to control various things, which I like. Only reason I choose another over LyftenBloggie is that doesn't use Joomla's Sections and Categories, instead it creates in it's own world, so non of my modules can access these articles. Also you have to manually add authors and their names, which is very annoying and time consuming. Ok, I can manually select individual authors, but type in their names too?

Beside those two I mentioned, I really like this module.

Of all the Joomla blogging components, I think this has the greatest potential of matching a true blog platform. Unfortunately, there are still some bugs that the author has acknowledged - namely around commenting. For that reason, I can't use it yet, but I am watching... :)

If you don't require commenting, then I STRONGLY recommend this component!!!

Superb. Just another great addition to the component sector. Much much better than previous blogging softwares. Its comment system, latest blog module style and front end and back end article writing using joomla Tiny MCE editor is simply superb. Thanks a lot.

You should have a look at this extention for sure!
It has an excellent GUI and offers a lot of features in the current version. The devloper announced an update, it will be available soon with even more improvements.
The developer is fast in his respons fixing minor bugs (if any). We are going to change all our websites blog pages to this extention!

It offers selectable tags per blog post, works like a charm. Have not been able to show rating but this is a bug in our own modified template.

Have tested visibility in Google and the post is seen as wanted, even the short version is shown in google with complete blog linked below it. Gives great exposure!

Would like to be able to fix the font type when posting, but is a nice to have and not must have.

Found a "latest blog" on developers website and it looks very nice. Received a compliment from a visitor within a day. Is a great combination to use!

Have tried to use it combined with woopra and it shows indeed every visited blog page, this was a requirement for us.

I have not found a user manual, but even with my limited knowledge it was easy to get it up and running.

The only minor bug found is the archive button in the backend creating an error, hope this is fixed in the next version.

We did not test the update service, for alerts after publishing a new post. Hope to read a review from someone else on this.

On our wirh list is support for extravote, this cannot be activated since Lyftenblog does not show a parameter for this (yet).

We have tried many extensions and this is one of the few that made a huge impression from the start..

This looks like the makings of a good component. I installed it and the back end works fine but the front end has an issue - which may be an issue with PHP4. I'm no expert so I can't say for sure but there are some other people with the same problem.

I've tried it on sites with different versions of Joomla and get the same error. Maybe worth testing the component to establish compatibility ?

Also there doesn't appear to be a demonstration on the website, which makes it difficult to assess without actually installing the component.

This system looks promising but need to some. This is the error message I got after installing.

I looked at blog integration components this recently, and I'm delighted to have found Lyften Bloggie! After a smooth, easy install and very minor configurations, my blog was up and running. It's still lacking in a few small features (default blog category, restricting authors to specific categories or more than one blog), but for a first version, this is a fantastic component! Thank you so much!

This component is what Joomla needs to become a serious Blog contender to Wordpress ... Finally CMS meets Blog in a serious challenge. Lyften Blog makes use of the internal power of joomla and seamlessly integrates it into a great blogging module. It's clean, neat, powerful, smart, and the author is making adjustments as feedback is coming in ... Excellent work....

This is such a great start for this component, it was almost surprising! There are some excellent features, and you can get up and running very quickly. The code is MVC, well written and easy to customise. The admin panel uses the same layout as the Joomla! core. It feels very solid, not buggy. I look forward to seeing how it develops, great work.

Thank you for best blog component

Very happy with this. Installed a treat, clean back-end, trackbacks, comments - all the stuff you need for a basic blog. Only just installed it so haven't checked all the functionality yet - but so far - great!!

I'm sure this could be made better, but I don't have the slightest idea how. Great blogging solution. I installed it and set it up in just a few minutes without having to refer to any documentation. Now working great. Feature rich and the author promises more features in the future. This is not only blogging system listed with admin reviews, publishing controls, etc.
