We took months to build it and laid it on the table for our users to get a taste of it, and now, Komento is all polished and ready to be served to all Joomla! users. Yes, today is the stable release of Komento v1.0.1558, your preferred comment extension for Joomla! 2.5.

Throughout these years, we have been trying to ensure that our product logo's do not look disintegrated from one another. Well, it did worked out for us for a little while, if you can recall the Origami-ish logo that we made for EasyBlog, EasyDiscuss and SectionEx (Hint: The ones on the front page)

After the release of Komento, we have toyed around with a couple of ideas and decided to update our existing products with a new logo so that they look much more integrated.

Presenting to you the new logos for our Joomla! extensions.

Let us know what do you think of these new logos =)

P/S: Can you guess which logo belongs to which of our extensions?

After about a month Komento was released, we gathered all feedback from our users and here we have, the second beta version of Komento! Thanks a million for you good folks out there for the help! We had fun.

We also did some tightening of codes based on your experience while testing out Komento. In this beta 2 version, you will also expect some cool new features that will make this comment extension give you more mileage in managing your comments in Joomla 2.5.

At StackIdeas, we endeavor to develop top quality extensions for Joomla 2.5 and committed to build tools that are easy to use. After months of work, we are now proud to announce an all-new Joomla comments system component, Komento!

Komento allows users to express what's in their head upon articles created in Joomla or even in blog posts. This comments extension is built to work only in Joomla 2.5 and is also capable of integrating with third party components, but more on this later.

Here are some of our favorite features in Komento ...

While most of you have been busy surfing around with your mobile devices, some of you might been asking yourselves, "How can I make my Joomla! powered site mobile compatible?". Don't fret as Weever Apps has actually came up with something amazing for your Joomla! powered sites. To begin with, their component setup is extremely easy.

So, what do we have in store for you in EasyBlog 3.5? :)

We make EasyBlog as extensible as possible by way of integrating with many third party Joomla components. This is a great way of sharing available resources across several programs without the need for repeated work i.e. signing up, fill forms, authorization, etc.

EasyBlog allows bloggers to create their own profiles in EasyBlog itself by adding their personal details, contacts and avatars. Or, if they already have an profile somewhere else, like Kunena or Community Builder, the blogger can still use the same avatar to appear in EasyBlog.

Joomla 2.5 is a great content management system for you to build solid websites using its articles. These articles does the job of displaying your content and images and can appear in any form and style. But for creating that blog 'feel', you will need some extensions and plugins to achieve it.

This means you will have to scour the Joomla Extensions Directory for plugins and components to make up for a full-fledged blogging environment. But bear in mind, the more components/plugins installed, the slower your Joomla website loads up and that will turn your visitors off!
