If you are already using WYSIWYG Web Builder, I see it has blog extension as part of the package. Is there a reason you went with phpjabbers blog script and WYSIWYG Web Builder?

Also why do you use both Xara and WYSIWYG Web Builder? Does Xara give you something that WYSIWYG Web Builder doesn't do as good or lacks?

Thanks

Ray,

Have been using Xara for about over a decade for graphics and then websites. A few years ago I added ecwid for eCommernce. Soon found out ecwid and Xara don't play nice together. I found WYSIWYG Web Builder as a result of a search for a tool to use with ecwid. My new sites are built with Web Builder, but I still use Xara almost daily for graphics.

I stumbled across PHPjabbers and got the Simple CMS first. Then added a number of the other scripts including the blog. You are correct that Web Builder has a CMS with blog but I haven't learned it yet, but learning now based on the new Version 16 with lots of nice new goodies.

One of the companies I contract with did the $299 get the entire collection of 65 scripts and over the last few months, we have used several for clients that needed things like; online appt scheduling, blogs, news sites, event calendars, business directories, product catalogs, image galleries. They have been a great way to move from static websites to sites that provide some business functions.

If you want to take a closer look I would be happy to do a virtual session with you. Happy to share the knowledge with fellow developers.
