The World’s BEST Blogging Software now Supports Joomla
Up until now, using Joomla as a Blog has been quite difficult. There are not many decent blogging components for Joomla and the ones that are available simply don’t provide the vast functionality of traditional blogging software such as B2Evolution or WordPress.
We initially tried to create a bridge between Joomla and B2Evolution and this worked for a short time however many users found it difficult to use. When B2Evolution released new updates, the Joomla blog component faced a few problems.

#2. JoomBlog
Joom Blog starts from around $39 and is another popular choice for Joomla Blogging. This is the cheaper of all options discussed so far but yet still has enough features for most bloggers.
Joomblog comes with a built in commenting system with it’s own CAPTCH to prevent unwanted spam. Each time you publish a new post, social media sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter can be instantly notified and your circle of friends and contacts will instantly be informed.
Generating traffic to your blog is an important part of blogging.
Also included in this package is it’s own built in SEF handling for Search Engine Optimisation. Because JoomBlog is an all in one package, what you pay for here is what you get unlike WordPress which has a vast community of developers creating plugins and extensions.
WordPress is and always has been the major player in the blogging world. Supporting millions of website worldwide, WordPress is the WIDEST USED blogging platform, EVER.
It’s one thing having a great blogging tool but if you’re reading this page, you’re probably looking to blog in Joomla by using a Joomla blog component.
