			<description><![CDATA[Questions about blogs on Joomla. I want a blog on my businesssite which does not require registration if you wish to comment. I am not the IT department here you understand. We require registrations on the site. The site is run by someone for us who handles the back end side of it. It appears we cannot 'turn off' registrations on the blog only. Currently though it is 8 clicks to leave a comment - who is going to bother with that ! Is this common with Joomla I have no idea which verson.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why Joomla? Because sometimes that bloatware is useful :-) Sure, for a site that is 100% blog, nothing beats Wordpress, but this post is designed for sites that only have a blog as one part of their whole operation.]]></description>

			<title>Joomla Bundles</title>
			<link>http://www.alledia.com/blog/joomla-blogs/joomla-blogs-kick-butt/#comment-5235</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Actually we have just released the Start Blogging package for free. Its essentially a mix of the Blog Sidebar, Ja Submit, JosComment, RD Rss feed and a few other handy things like mycontent and some other mambots - that aim to turn Joomla into an easy to use blog without needing to log in to the backend after the user has set it up. I think it is going to be handy for some people but its missing some stuff like trackback and I think that Jomcomment would be a much more suitable addon but its not GNU - so the user will have to add that on later. Anyway thought I would let you all know. Thanks Anthony.]]></description>

			<title>Bundling to reduce bloat</title>
			<link>http://www.alledia.com/blog/joomla-blogs/joomla-blogs-kick-butt/#comment-5142</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi Lawrence Thanks for the interesting post. Its interesting to see that there seems to be a movement towards bundling Joomla for specific applications, removing some of the unneccessary addons and plugging in the tools needed for specific tasks. Doing this can help reduce the "bloat" factor. VirtueMart are doing it: http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=101 Discussion on the Joomla forums: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,130190.0.html Joomlabamboo.com and Joomlashack.com are doing this on a commercial basis.]]></description>

			<title>Spam and linkbaits</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The main areas my clients get hit are the contact form, since most don't want to run comments. As for the ongoing fight between WP and Joomla! as a blog platform, perhaps Barrie might consider the reason his article is popular is that it conforms to a known linkbaiting (http://www.stuntdubl.com/2007/01/12/linkbaiting-hooks/ ) technique (The contrary hook). Content management systems should be deployed on usage behaviour of the client, since at the end of the day, the client has to understand the system they use. In this way, WP fulfills a different task for the end user than Joomla!, and any usability expert worth his salt would recognise this. Blind marketing for Joomla! just gets shown up as blind by the wider community (as per the ClueTrain Manifesto (http://www.cluetrain.com/index.html) and IdeasVirus (http://www.ideavirus.com/)), actually lessening the credibility across the blogosphere for it. Perhaps this is why people consider Joomla! a "monster (http://www.webmasterworld.com/content_copywriting/3006023.htm)" app and "bloat (http://www.digg.com/software/Pakt_CMS_prize_awarded_Joomla_edges_out_Drupal_in_a_tie_breaker)" ?]]></description>
