Blog Software

You've heard about it, read about it, and perhaps you even do it.  But did you know that corporate blogging has been hailed as the next big thing in commercial Websites?  Even Fortune 500 companies are jumping onto this new trend of personal postings, where everyone from the company president to the latest satisfied customer can influence a Website visitor with their personal viewpoints.

Blogging

Blogs frequently include philosophical reflections, opinions and testimonials of the author, as well as a "log" of favorite Web links. Blogs are usually written in "journal" style with a new entry posted each day.

In addition to the features of OpenEdit Web Content Manager, OpenEdit Blogs has a blog module which provides an interactive area on your Website for users to instantly publish their comments.  Your can set up authentication requirements for bloggers, respond to blog entries, or post or review a comment history of blogs on the site.

Managing a Blog

To get the most benefit from a corporate blog, the blog site should be monitored for content by a blog manager.  Since a website is privately owned, the blog manager can delete, block or publish entries at will.  Openedit Blogs have this functionality, as well as authentication to limit who may be a blog participant.
