uBlogsy

Note: uLoremsy is causing issues in Umbraco 7 installs. If you are seeing ghost nodes, please delete the dll.

 

uBlogsy is a blog package for Umbraco 4.7 and above. Latest version (uBlogsy 4.2) works on Umbraco 7.4+

uBlogsy uses the awesomeness of Razor.

- Auto comment approval (optional in v3 MVC)
- Dashboard control for approving comments (optional in v3 MVC)
- Contact form (not included in v3)
- Pages

- Predefined categories

Note: uBlogsy 3 is a re-architecture and is now available in MVC (default) OR Webforms (see downloads). You MUST be in MVC mode (see umbracoSettings.config) before installing the MVC package. uBlogsy 3 is also now powered by lucene.

uBlogsy 3 Webforms comes complete with comments.
