What blog component (free/commercial) would you recommend to use with Joomla 1.5? I am looking for a blog that will seamlessly integrate with the Joomla site.
Thanks!

I like Jom comments, so currently giving MyBlog a test drive...but while the component is now J1.5 native, the modules to create a blog-like site are still requiring legacy. ;(
...might be worth a look down the road.

- I'm reserving myself for BlogMan. Unless of course it's a commercial extension- in that case I might just use SOBI2 (w/many tweaks) as my multi-blogging platform. CB + Mamblog isn't that bad either.

Thanks.
I was also told about this new free blog component - JooBlog:
extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...k_id,4198/Itemid,35/
Any experience with this one at all?
I think I like MyBlog the best. Wish it had 1.5 compatibility.

Terp, thanks for the reply. What problems are you seeing with the modules? - Recent Sites:

They all require legacy mode for J1.5. The MyBlog extension that now runs in native J1.5 just cleared beta, but I have a few issues with it; late time I tried the version for J1.0.x, it was pretty solid, as is Jom comment.
If your site is running Joomla 1.0.x, it's a safe bet...all modules worked nicely for me. I suspect they will be migrated over in the not-too-distant future to work in J1.5...

My site is on Joomla 1.5. I am totally new to 1.5 so I don't understand what 'legacy mode' is? I am using MediaMogul for 1.5. So, if I turn on the 'legacy mode', then does that mean that all MyBlog modules will work OK with the Joomla1.5 installation?

Sure, they should work; the main MyBlog itself runs in native, but the modules require the legacy, so by turning on legacy mode, you should be able to install the full package.
I am going back to J1.0.x for awhile, so I didn't play with the modules in legacy mode, just the MyBlog extension itself; jom comment worked perfectly in J1.5, for what it's worth.
I got to the point (when using J1.5) that I almost wrapped a WordPress blog in my Joomla site, given that lack of decent blogging tools.

Thanks. I am thinking of going back to 1.0 for now also. I just realized that VirtueMart does not work with 1.5 yet either. Also, I am unable to do some basic things such as globally turn off the author name and date on articles, etc. I like 1.5 in general, but will wait a few months until all the good extensions have their 1.5 version out.
