To complement the ratings functionality which we are planning to add in EasyBlog 2.0, we will also be releasing a new top rated module which displays the highest rated blog entries in a module. On top of that, users from the site can also vote using this module.
Stay tune for more updates!
One of the features that will be included in EasyBlog 2.0 will include a proper rating system for your blog entries. Of course, this feature will be an optional feature where you can just disable it from the back end if you want.
Stay tune for more updates :)
It is still a new year and we're starting it with an awesome new component for all of you Joomla! users. Let me present to you EASYDISCUSS!
EasyDiscuss is a social collaboration tool that works for Joomla! website especially in gathering user-generated content on a specific topic. The component provides a centralized community-driven area for ideas, information, resources, and feedback that are valuable in making important decisions, or creating results.
Some of the features requested by our users was to add the functionality of LinkedIn® into EasyBlog. It will basically behave the same way as Twitter whereby when you post a new blog entry, it'll automatically post them up to your LinkedIn® profile.
Here's a short sneak peak of what's coming up on EasyBlog 2.0 which incorporates LinkedIn® support. As a blogger, you can associate your account with LinkedIn®

We feel honored to share with you the best practices in blogging especially after you have successfully having EasyBlog installed in your website. Blogging takes a certain commitment and it must not stop because everything else will fail and that includes your business.
Because blogging represents the organic side of your company, the subjects you blog about will spark interests amongst your customers that you are serious in the things you do for them.
However, you may, at times, suffer from writer's block and not knowing what to blog about. You are only human and all you need is some inspiration or guidelines rather to keep your blog alive.

Online marketing expert Jon Neubauer has been a Wordpress man in the things he do for his clients. However, it didn't last long until he found out that Wordpress '..became too clumsy, too hard to manage efficiently and logically.' so being an ambitious IT person, he tried Joomla! as the CMS basis in building websites for his clients. The rest, was history.
In his blog post, he tells us which CMS is better, highlighting it with only 3 reason that Joomla! is the winner.

We wanted to put a word of congratulations in his comment box but seems like the reCaptcha plugin wasn't responding... probably he needs a better blogging engine?
Lately there has been some technical glitches happened at our merchnat provider Plimus and this had caused many of our registered users having problems in getting the component.We would like to apologize for this error and Plimus is working on solving this problem as I blog.
