Magento Blog Section [closed]

Question

There seems to be very little information out there about creating a Blog on Magento..

I am creating a clothing site for http://www.CrystelleClothing.co.uk and I want to include a blog section for trends and fasions etc...

There is an extension called BLOG (can be found at http://ecommerce.aheadworks.com/free-stuff/blog.html and http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/blog-community-edition.html) which appears to do this and whilst reviews are good, there is no screen shots etc.

Has anybody used this BLOG extension, or am I best off creating a wordpress blog in the site? or something similar?

Would be useful for a lot of people I think

Answer 1

I have recently installed it. It seems to work well although I haven't tested it live.

Developing right now.

Note it has a widget you can use in a custom CMS block for recent posts.

Answer 2

I'd suggest giving the Fishpig Wordpress module a whirl - http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration.html It connects a separate WordPress installation to Magento and you can embed posts in your Magento theme. It's free so no harm if you don't like it.
