Smart Blog
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Geez.... I've been waiting for a multi-blogging system for the longest time. I didn't want something complex that opens up in new windows, I didn't want something that had compatability issues.

I just wanted my site users to have their own personal blogs. I wanted it to have comments, and picture uploads. I wanted it to be a Joomla component.

Smart Blog has everything I need, it looks great, and it's easy to understand, now my users can blog away.

Thank you so much, this component works GREAT!

This component is really helpful with getting user feedback on my reviews- its simplicity to the user makes it easier for them to participate in my reviews. Not too mention it is completely free!

The developer says he is currently developing the component so registered users can leave reviews from the frontend of the site, I can't wait.

This is one to keep an eye on!

Joomlearn LMS Basic Edition
I have several folks that I work with that needed training
on various job tasks. This component worked perfectly. Making tests were super easy. I was able to train the trainer in about 5 minutes. For the users it was easy also. Just login and see which tests are available.

As it says. It is the only FREE LMS that Joomla has- and it does its job. Minus a few compatability issues and the lack of forum support, this component stands out through its standing capability and its price.

I will most likely upgrade to silver edition if this product works out for my office.
Owner's reply

Support is not handled through a forum but we have a support center and support each customer on an individual basis as nobody knows the Joomlearn LMS better than us. We have found that we can offer much better 1 on 1 support rather than using a forum for support. It is much more effective.

SOBI 2
If you need a directory, a list, a blog, a file management system... ANYTHING. If you are competent in HTML and know a little CSS, SOBI has the capability to whatever project you need.

I absolutely love it, and praise the developers for keeping it opensource!

From checking out the demo this is the final polish I needed to my site.

I regrettably purchased a membership so that I could gain access to the installation instructions and discovered that installing any of the requirements is beyond my understanding.

If you are not competent in server management or use shared hosting like I do, I would suggest waiting until the component allows third party videos.

Superb component for the seasoned folks out there I guess.
