Overview

Blog built for Magento

I put a lot of time and effort into making this extension and I let you guys have it
 free, so donations appreciated.

Note you may have to log out of the admin panel then log back in again, if you get an Access Denied message when accessing the config.

Has not been tested with magento 1.0! and it is advised not to install alongside Lazzymonks Wordpress integration.

Anyone that has installed the wordpress integration will need to remove the "blog_setup" entry from the "core_resource" table of there database. if you need details on how to do this PM me.

This is blog for magento, my wordpress integration shows wordpress in magento. This is completely different although it looks very much the same to the customer. it offers much easier use and setup than the wordpress integration (just install the extension and you can start blogging).

Shows posts with comments.
Comments can be auto approved or moderated by admin.
