Re: Multiple Blogs on one site
Thanks for the plug, Charlie. I added an exclamation point in my Charlie's List for each of your feature requests ;-) On a side note to that I've been pretty busy of late with my head down re-architecting the admin UI and comments functionality. A bunch of changes which you (and Ben Nadel) suggested are in there, but since I took the time to convert the old code over to an MVC pattern and separate all of the presentation from the logic while I was monkeying around, CFBlog will have to be patched all at once instead of incrementally. Hope you can wait a couple more weeks. :-) For Vince: Vince, the BF Enterprise Portal has some pretty nice features based on what it sounds like you need. Feel free to e-mail me off-list if you want to take a test drive and I'll get you a demo portal to play with. One advantage to using the hosted service is that we can fully integrate with the server for things like separate domains for portals and individual blogs. For Nate: Nate, responding to your reply later in this thread, I'm sorry. I don' t get comments e-mails for the old BF dev blog and I'm actually going to be consolidating the CFBlog Admin Blog as the only Blogfusion Dev blog since CFBlog always gets upgrades before any of the other portals. I just checked your comment. If you want to follow up with that and discuss, shoot me and e-mail off list and I'll go more into detail with a response to your concerns. I'm not trying to duck it, mind you, it's a more detailed response than I'm ready to type at 2AM :-) Regards, Jon Clausen On Apr 6, 2007, at 1:16 PM, Charlie Griefer wrote: The only thing I can offer up is that I use BlogFusion's hosted blog (http://cfblog.com/cgriefer/index.cfm) and I'm pretty happy with it.

RE: Multiple Blogs on one site
Just a suggestion, could you tag the posts by user in one blog instead of each user having their own blog? I know blogger allows for this, so I programmatically include each by tag. I just don't know how you would need to deal with security, can one user be trusted not to touch someone elses? -Original Message- From: Vince Collins (NHJobs.com) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 1:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Multiple Blogs on one site Multiple Blogs, Multiple Users, Overall Aggregated Portal of all Blogs.

Re: Multiple Blogs on one site
Glad to hear you have had a good experience with them. I would consider it if I could install it locally. Having it hosted with them is the part that I don't like. Also Dave (http://blogfusion.com/blog/) has never responded to my questions and his blog is stale. I suppose I should give up on BlogFusion because of the lack of response but I'll consider asking Jon Clausen. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Re: Multiple Blogs on one site
Hmmm, If noone knows about this, riaforge.com has mutliple blogs from the one source framework. And which also uses blogCFC... Should check it out, will do exaclty what you are looking for.

Re: Multiple Blogs on one site
BlogCFC does support this, but if you wanted a blog 'creator', then yo uwould need to add that on top. Mainly what I've done with BlogCFC is to allow it to run in virtual mode. So you can pass in any settings at runtime and configure how the blog acts. This is being used in a few sites, RIAForge being one of them. You are 100% ok to do this with my blog license.
