integrators. Most people who use Plone for blogging also uses Plone as a
customized content management system, and they have specific requirements
and their own skin, custom content types and other integrations. It turned
out that other Plone blogging products make a lot of assumption about how
you are to use it, what you want from a blog, and how your site is set up.ftw.blogftw.blog provides a blog implementation for Plone featuring tags and
categories. A user can add a new blog entry and tag it using tags and
categories. Available categories are defined by the creator of the blog,
whilst tags can be added freely by the author of a blog entry. Blog
entries are listed in chronological order, in a tag cloud, by categories,
and in a monthly archive. Entries can be searched by using the search
function of the blog.ScrawlA dirt-simple blog product for Plone. It copies the News Item content type
to create a Blog Entry (with a slightly tweaked view template) and adds an
alternative view to Collections (blog_view). Note that blog_view shows
either the description of each contained blog entry (if it exists) or the
entire body. It’s up to the user to limit those results in an intelligent
way so that page loads doesn’t take too long.Share and Enjoysc.blogwould not have been possible without the contribution of the
