| What is Blogg-X? |
| Blogg-X is a cross platform (OS X, Windows XP, Linux) content management tool for websites based on the Joomla! CMS. Blogg-X runs locally on your computer as a desktop application. Utilizing built in WYSIWYG and HTML source editors you can post rich content on your Joomla! site without the use of the web browser. What does this mean? How much time does it take to post news on your Joomla! site? Using Blogg-X there is no need to log into your Joomla! site, no clicking the “Submit News” link and waiting for the page to refresh, no waiting for the Joomla! WYSIWYG editor to load. Instead just start Blogg-X and immediately start adding your content. Need image support? Blogg-X has it! Want to browse the images already on your server? Blogg-X has it! Want to remove or delete posts? Blogg-X can do that! Want to write your post now, but save it to the hard drive for posting later? Blogg-X can do that! Want to post the same content to multiple sites? Blogg-X can do that! Want to know how many unpublished posts are on the server and publish them? Blogg-X can do that! Do you have multiple users posting content? Blogg-X can be used by all of them adding content at will, even simultaneously without causing conflicts or confusion. Blogg-X simplifies the process of managing the content on your Joomla! site and does it faster at the same time. Are you a Blogger? Simply combine Blogg-X and AkoCommentPlus from Walter Cedric and you have a simple, complete, fast and spam free blogging solution! |
| Control unlimited Joomla! sites |
| Do you have multiple Joomla! sites? Add the settings into Blogg-X for each site and you can control them all via Blogg-X. You can also set a default site so when you start Blogg-X it will automatically select that site. |
| Built in WYSIWYG editor |
| Using a built-in WYSIWG HTML editor you can see how your post will look before posting onto your site. (Note: template .css files may change some attributes). |
| Toggle between WYSIWYG and HTML |
| Prefer to view the HTML code? Click the HTML toggle button and you have full access to the generated HTML code from the WYSIWYG editor. Changes made to the HTML code are then reflected in the WYSIWYG editor. |
| Section and Category selections available |
| Allows you to choose the specific Section and Category in which to post the content. Helps keep your site organized. |
| Load previously posted articles and content |
| Did you post your article and realized you made a spelling error. Use the “Load/Delete Previous Posts” option in Blogg-X to retrieve the article, make the corrections then re-publish the article. Imagine all the time you have just saved versus using the Joomla! interface. |
| Delete posts and articles from your site |
| Have some articles or posts you know longer want stored on the site. Use Blogg-X to easily remove them. |
| Simple image support |
| Blogg-X has a built in FTP client allowing you to upload images onto your server. Also the ability to browse and preview the images stored on the site and re-use in any article or post. |
| Notification of unpublished articles and posts |
| Do you have “Authors” creating content for your site that you have to approve? Blogg-X shows the number of unpublished posts in the status bar and via the “Load/Delete Previous Posts” option you can load individual unpublished articles and then make changes and choose one of the publish options. |
| Proxy server support |
| Are you working from behind a proxy server? Configure Blogg-X with your proxy server settings and begin posting away. |
| Joomla! user level support |
| Blogg-X can accommodate “Publisher”, “Administrator”, “Super Administrator” and “Author” user levels set within your Joomla! configuration. “Authors” will only be able to publish content for approval, and will only be able to load posts that they have created. |
| Save and load posts to and from your hard drive |
| Are you using Blogg-X on your laptop at the airport when you realize you don’t have wireless access? Save the post to your hard drive and when you have an internet connection load the file and upload the article or post onto your site. |
| Additional Joomla! publishing settings |
| Want to create your article or post now but not have it displayed until later? Blogg-X supports some of the additional Joomla! publishing settings like “Start Publishing”, “Finish Publishing”, “Access Level”, “Author Alias”, “Change creator”, and “Override Creation Date”. |
