Wow! Best Blogger and Support
byamob7880, May 30, 2011
EasyBlog
I can't say enough good things about this component. I have tried several other "popular" Joomla blogging components and this very simply blows the others away. It is feature rich and very easy to setup and use.

I did have an issue with it not showing modules on the blog page, but their support jumped right on it and fixed it even though the problem was related to an issue with another component on my site. They happily and quickly made the fix for me.

Whether you are using this as a single blogger or multiple, this is absolutely the very best that it out there.

Gary´s Cookbook
★★
Not Suitable For Most Web Sites

While this component works well in most cases, it is just not suitable for most site due to "Gary's Cookbook" appearing all over the place. On the opening initial page, "Gary's Cookbook and garyscookbook appear in six places - only two of which are easily removed.

I know the developer worked hard on his extension but goodness, why put "Gary's Cookbook" in so many places.

If you place it on your site, people will be asking who is Gary and not see that it is your cookbook.

Such a great extension

Zap Calendar
I am rating this Excellent even though there are a few minor issues. Overall this is a great ext that adds so much to my site. I am in a very competitive market and upcoming events is an important feature. Z calendar blows my competitor's event lists/calendars away. The Google Map feature in the paid version is just outstanding and worth the cost by itself. Looks like the forum is actively supported by the developer so I will take my minor issues there.

Nice Simple Solution

This is a very nice simple solution that works great. I didn't need a full-blown auction site, just something like this to handle a few items now and then. Thanks for your work on this FREE extension.

Works Great With SOBI2

MetaMod
What a great module! I may have spent a whole 5 minutes reading the documentation on recipes so I could attempt to control modules appearing in sub-categories in SOBI2. I cut and pasted the sample. I replaced two fields with my information. Clicked on Enable and it worked. That took all of 2 minutes. Now I can easily sell advertising to appear for different cities and even individual SOBI2 entries. This is fabulous.

Just Installed Half An Hour Ago

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.

Works Great but needs a few options

Smart Blog
I think this is a great extension and is easy to use and set up (despite the last couple of reviews that state otherwise). However, without the ability to review the posts prior to them being published makes it not usable in many, if not most applications. Allowing automatic posting on the blog is just an invitation to abuse. Open blogs will soon be filled with obscenities, male enhancement links, and the usual internet garbage.

With this simple option (just make the new post Unpublished), I would be singing its praises to all who would listen.

By the way, for the previous posters who could not figure out how to make this work: after loading the extension, enable the plugin, enable the module, and then add the various "pages" to the menu system (add a blog, blog, etc).
