So, is Joomla a valid tool to start a Blog site?

But.. this WordPress Blog is about building a Joomla bases Weblog.. right?
Creating a Blog with Joomla
True, this is all about Joomla and how you can have a Blog website based on Joomla.
But Blogging with Joomla it is not as simple as might seem at first.
Sure, Joomla has a menu choice called Blog section, but that doesn’t mean that it is a Blog…
What makes a Blog a Weblog?
Here are some features that make a blog (besides quality content of course):
- Online posting
- Post categories
- Flexible layout
- Sidebar with recent postings
- Sidebar with Categories
- Tags
- Comments
- Trackbacks and Pings
- RSS Feeds
Possibly even a Tagcloud would be nice :-)
But can all this be done with Joomla?
Yes, most of it is possible if you use some special Components that can add these functionalities to you Joomla site.
So, lets start these series and show you how to Build a Joomla based Blog!
