ColdSpring added. Coldfusion on Windows added. Hmmmm.... a USP (unique selling proposition).
So, there are lots of free places to blog on the web and Ray Camden plus a few others give their software away for free so you can host it on your own server. In short this is not meant to make you move from anything else. I offer it up as a way to help build the coldfusion community and make sharing all the great blog knowledge out there easier. Below is how we aim to accomplish that. Categories: We built it with the concept of community at the top of our list. With that being said it is your blog posts that drive the content in the site. When you are adding an entry you have a choice between two types of categories. Posts to Global categories show up on the main site and will be seen by all people whether they have visited your blog or not. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed for that category and show all of the posts that are being made in their RSS reader. Also you can create your own personal categories to post into that will only show up on your blog. Search: The search box on the main page will let you search through everyones blogs to see what people are saying on that topic. You can then subscribe to an RSS feed that will keep you updated as new posts match your criteria. There is also a search box on your main page that will only search through your personal blog. Featured: When we find a blogger that has very compelling content or is talking about something that is very interesting we will make them a featured blogger. Now I know what youre thinking. "Why do they get to choose what is interesting or compelling?" Well keep reading becasue we have two more sections to address that. Popular Blogs: This is where we track what blogs are getting the most attention and make them more available to you. Most Commented Posts: This one is pretty straight forward. The posts that are receiving the most comments show up here. Multiple Languages: The Coldfusion community is a very Global group even in the core of it is focused in the US. For that purpose we have the ability to support as many languages as possible. We currently have English and Spanish, and will be adding French and Italian in the very near future. So I am not necessarily trying to sell cfblog itself to anyone. It actually costs me money to host, support and run it. It is my way to give back to the CF community. Just like houseoffusion and several other great CF resources that are out there. I also won't pretend that I don't hope after seeing it everyone will think up projects they would like to do with BlogFusion v 5 and want to purchase it when it is released. But that truly is not my main aim with cfblog.com. I think once the software is released it will stand on it's own two feet very nicely.
