K2 vs Superblogger: The Short Version

(0 votes)

JoomlaWorks has fielded two very interesting solutions for blogging in Joomla - K2 and Superblogger.  K2 is free and can be used for a whole lot more than just blogging.  Superblogger is cheap - about $11 CDN - and is specifically designed for blogging.

So if you want to add a blog to your existing Joomla site or start a new blog-style Joomla site from scratch, which is the better option?

Short answer:  K2.

Why?  Several reasons - one, it's free.  Two, it does almost everything Superblogger does, and much more besides.  Three - it sidesteps the built-in Joomla section > categories > article structure, letting you create instead unlimited nested categories, vs Superblogger, which works within the existing Joomla content structure.  Four - it lets you create your own user groups and assign permissions to individual users, making it easy to setup a multi-author blog.  Five - really easy to use taggnig system.  Six - "K2" just sounds cooler than "Superblogger."  Seven - it's free.

That's a quick evaluation.  We'll do a more detailed comparison within the next few days.
