Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs

Those are very good reasons. Ease of skin is very important in the project I've been assigned. Thanks again to all for the input.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs
That's Tom that's just the kind of input I was looking for. I downloaded Mango last night. Seems easy to install. I like what I see so far. One of the guys at the office wrote me this morning to tell me he opened an account at blogger.com and ask me if we should run multiple blogs. One integrated into our site and another one at blogger.com. I didn't know what to tell him. I'm not a blog expert or anything but at the moment I don't know how it would help to have two which would basically have the same info on it. Does anyone know if would help or hurt to post the same content to multiple blogs? Good thing? Bad thing?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs
I switched from BlogCFC to Mango for multiple reasons. 1. It's EXTREMELY easy to skin and modify the designs for it 2. It's got a solid plugin architecture that lets you add any functionality that you may think is missing without compromising the engine as a whole 3. It's got an extremely well designed admin console that automatically notifies you of updates, not just to the engine, but to skins as well I feel that BlogCFC is a good "starter blog" for anyone wanting to use a CF blog engine. Mango, to me, just seems like a much more elegant and professional piece of software. I've told Ray as much and he agrees. BlogCFC is a hobby for him, not something he can dedicate a lot of time to maintain. Mango is something that Nauhel and Laura have time to dedicate to and it shows. My two cents.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs
Dusty, I'm not sure you'll be able to determine a "most preferred: blog. But I think you'll find strong supporters both for Ray Camden's BlogCFC (which has been around forever, but is frequently updated) and Mango Blog, from the folks at ASFusion. You can find both at RIAForge, I think. For some reason, Mango Blog isn't showing up in the search there, although a number of plugins for it do. But you can find it at mangoblog.org. Mango, in particular, is built for skinning. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
