Hi there T3BLOG is a good blog extension but a little tricky to integrate in TYPO3 as the output is not based on HTML templates, but on Typoscript. So you need to overwrite properties from some 1000+ lines Typoscript setups if you want to change something. On the other hand, it gives you the possibility to change everything you like or need.
But you will need some time to get into - especially if you want to use the widgets in an existing design. The standard design for the blog has very bad CSS (absolute positioning i.e.) so you need to change everything to fit your requirements. I tested lot3blog that simplifies configuration but as a consequence you're losing the flexibility if T3BLOG. As for development I can tell you that since Dmitry Dulepov is "maintaining" the extension the most severe bugs were fixed and he is willing to improve this extension, and fast in reacting, by the way ;-).

Hi all, On our website we now have a news page with tt_news. Now I want to make it a blog with comments, tagcloud, etc... My question is, which extension is best suitable to make a blog? I read about timtab and t3blog. Are there any other choices? Timtab It comes up in the TER as the number 1. But I read it is not being developed anymore, so I wonder if I should still use this extension... T3blog It seems to be a new extension with a lot of possibilities, but also a lot of problems. There has been released a template extension (lot3blog), which makes things easier though. A plus for this extension is that it is still being developed. Other blog extension Are there any? Pls let me know your experiences.
