Blog builder

[graemewilliams]

I'm interested in the Blog builder feature but it is currently only available under the eShop Elite package. Is anybody using this successfully and prepared to offer their views? If possible, please could you provide a link to your Blog so that I can take a look and see if it fits my needs?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I started the Blog facility a short while ago.  It is pretty basic and i haven't added any fancy stuff to it.

Its on www.aregato.com  under Aregato Blog on the left hand side.

Hope it helps

whoknows - thanks for that

It does seem a little bit basic. I'll check it out again in the coming months to see how much further you get with it.

BTW - I think your site looks great. What template did you use? Or did you set it up from scratch by yourself?

Hi,

The blog is pretty baisc, but if you want to play around with the html, then you can can jazz it up.  I managed to add some refernces to books by pasting the html.  I would say that most of the front end aspect of ePages is basic unless you want to get into the serious html and graphics. I guess what you are paying for is the back-end datatbase and order processing!

I started with the blank template and built it up from there - the choice of templates is very limited and uninspiring!.  Although i need to refresh the whole thing now and it doesn't appear to be a simple and straightforward - but hey, i have learned a lot about graphics and HTML!!  Guess i will be learning more Photoshop!!
