The CS asset can be used as a blog of sorts, but it seems to be missing some features that people really want in blogs. Specifically, categories and tags. Has anyone come up with a way to have categories in a WG blog sidebar?

Thanks!

The blog is a bit week yes. It misses a lot that you expect from a full featured blog, like the calendar of your blogs, a blog API support for remote and mobile posting, and many more features.

WebGUI is not a full blogging platform and I do not guess that it is a top priority. If you need premium blog functionality, it is better for you to create cross authentication between WebGUI and another blogging platform.

Does anyone have examples or additional thoughts on doing this? I can see a lot of upsides (don't have to reinvent the wheel) but a ton of downsides as well (some content w/in WebGUI some outside of it, and it would be yet another system to maintain, plus all its supporting infrastructure.


Anyone have experience doing this, success or horror stories?

A temporary solution might be to RSS a blog from Blogger into your WebGUI site using a Syndicated Content asset.  Blogger has a tool called BlogThis, which allows you to drag a hyperlink into your bookmark toolbar and when you click it, it pops up a window that allows you to post to your blog.  That would be one way to be able to display and maintain a blog without ever having to leave the WebGUI site.
