Hi...

I recently discovered Website X5. It seems very interesting. I am especially interested on the blog and ecommerce feature of this product.

My question is on the BLOG feature, I see that I can post articles inside website X5, but can a client post blog articles after the site had been published? I cannot published my web pages yet since I am in trial mode that's why I do not know. I would like to know if my client can manage his blog aside just from approving and disapproving comments from his readers. What I would like to be assured of before I buy this product is that my client can post his blog articles online after the site has been published. Any insight?

Hi Rommel,

I am glad to know you are interested in our program!

Yes of course you can! Once the blog has been created, your client will be able to add articles and manage his users comments by approving or disapproving them just as for the guestbook.

I am not really concern about user comments. What my client likes is to be able to add his latest news articles everyday by logging in as administrator to the site. Maybe a screenshot of the backend administration of the blog...what the blog manager interface looks like will be a great help for me to understand the blogging features of this software. A video tutorial will be nice too.

Your client will be able to add comments whenever and however he likes.  At the moment there isn't a video tutorial regarding the Blog I'm afraid but once you will have your Evo 9 licence you will find (in the section called ''download'' of this page - top right corner), your manual.

Unfortunately, the Blog on WebsiteX5 is limited.  It isn't like WordPress or Blogger.  You are unable to give access to the Blog to someone else to make entries.  Blog entries can only be made through using the WebsiteX5 application/Advanced Settings so you won't be able to let your client make their own Blog entries.

If you need your client to make blog entries I would suggest that you create a link in WebsiteX5 to a blog you set up in WordPress or Blogger and you give your client access to the blog.
