Is There Some Sort of Blogging Software Suite Available? To Start a Blogservice?
 

see topic...

I'm talking about software to create a service like Blogger.com or TypePad.com is there anything commercially available like this?

If not I'd like to discuss this with a few programmers to see what it takes to get this done.

Thanks! :thumbsup

Here's a script that will work in conjunction with WordPress to host a blog service.

I'm sure there's a free one out there somewhere, check freshmeat.net ;)


:thumbsup or search for the old multiuser version of WP, I think it allowed for setting up a blog service...

YARGH! Great link candyflip! I think evolution2 does it too, and it's free.
Now quit yer chinwigglin'!

Even better than mine.

Thanks!

Not cheap but a great script

Its a long way from being ready for primetime, I got it installed ok several times but it kept corrupting after a few hours, probably be a few months before its usable, too many bugs

Im thinking of buying yours

It's not my script. I just had the link and got a copy as part of a deal when I bought the Free iPod Script.

I haven't done anything but did do a test install locally and it looks pretty good to me.

:thumbsup

LOL. First everyone created 10 blogs for themselves, now everyone wants to create a blog service? LOL

thanks for the links people :thumbsup

This looks like a good business model. Lots of users = lots of pages = lots of PPC space to advertise (just make sure to put this on your TOS). Also may have the side advantage of good SERP for some of your pages (depends on how they are interlinked). :thumbsup :thumbsup

i have a wonder solution for you bloggers :)

Working with some guys who have one that is very new but the results are promising
see sig :)

That's the best I have seen so far.
Wordpress MU has too many bugs still, it is not as ready as the regular single user version :2 cents:

What type of software are you using?

Its a modified bloghoster

Looks good, I guess we'll go for Bloghoster then :thumbsup
