Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
our Blog extension does not by default feature any toolset for importing blog articles from some external sources.
It may be possible to do such import within our customization service, so I suggest that you contact our support team - we will check if we can offer any solution.

After using it for a bit I have changed my mind about having a blog built into my store. I uninstalled the plugin through the magento-connect menu, but for some reason the blog link in the top-link header remains. Why wasn't this removed along with the extension. BTW I'm using a custom theme not a default one, so I had to copy the folders and xml file into my theme folders.

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
first of all, we would suggest that you check your header CMS block - in case you had inserted the Blog link manually, uninstalling the module would not have removed the link.
If it is not the case, then we can assume that the uninstall wasn't completely successful. Our techs could assist you with clarifying the matter, so feel free to contact our support service.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-1 month agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26207347I have the plugin working fine on a blog specific page, but would like to bring either a specific category or possibly flagged posts and have them displayed on the home page which is generated via CMS > PAGES.byjaypeg-1 month agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
the default version of the extension does allow to show a number of posts in non-blog areas of your store, however, this functionality is limited to the latest posts only. ( a special "Latest Posts" widget is added by the extension )
If you need some section to show the manually-specified set of posts, customization will be required.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-1 month agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26900078Hi,
I want to show dropdown containing the heading & link of the latest two blogs,when we hover on blog (in navigation bar)?byshivamsinghal-3 weeks, 5 days agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
unfortunately, the default version of the Blog extension does not offer such a feature.
Although the extension does include Latest Posts widget, it is designed to be placed in the content area.
However, since the extension is open-source, you can probably add such dropdown via customization, and use the Latest Posts widget as a basis.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-3 weeks agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_25909841Hi,

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello Santanu,
first of all, we would suggest that you try re-installing the extension (do not forget to flush the store cache after the installation).
If it does not help, we recommend that you check the special thread at our Forum.
Please, note that we do not support the Community Edition extension free of charge, so if you would like our technical team to investigate the problem for you, you will need to pay for the support package.
