What do you blog with?

awardle,

I should say that I have built several Blogs based on MODx but the clients were not interested in building a business around the blog. They had established businesses and the blogs were a communication tool not a marketing tool of themselves.

That is also to say that the potential is certainly there for a dev to build a strong, full featured blog matching or beating the functionality of WordPress.

MODx just needs the tools all put together.

Cheers,

Jay

If you are trying to build revenue off a blog and understand running a blogging business, then use a dedicated blogging tool no question. If you want to simply get some information out there in the context of an existing site, or a site that’s going to have some other non-blog content, then use MODx. You’ll spend a bit more time getting the blogging features to match WP with MODx, or you’ll spend more time getting WP to look like your MODx site. Pick your poison.

Thanks,

I think for the time being i will just the MODx type blog for my Customer News section on my site, and for the actual blog for getting new traffic I will use WP i’m guessing in time I will learn more about blogging and venture more into using MODx as a blog and should be then know exactly what I need from a blog and be able to write some stuff to do it.
