[TYPO3-english] to (t3)blog or not

[Stephen Bungert]

I tried t3blog because I need a blog for a site, I'm never using it again. 
If i have to make blog in Typo 3 again I would use a news extension and a 
comments extension together.

t3blog was nice in that it had all the widgits but changing the layout was a 
nightmare... it's all in TypoScript, it takes for ever to change the blog to 
look like your site's design. If just had an html template it would be 
useable, but as it is it requires far too much time to customise to a 
different design.
