Question about adding Blogs......

[Sunlite]

Has anyone added a blog to their store, which one did you add, and how well was it received?

Basically the store I'm assisting in sells all kinds of baking goods/spices/hot sauces, etc. We were thinking of adding a blog where we could post tips and recipes using the products we sell and allow customers to respond back and comment.

There are several ways to add a BLOG - even like this site - has a full CMS (DrupalI think) system - plus a forum and store and much more.

You can have a standalone system (best if you don't want the public to add) or you can intergrate it - Joomla has done this with the oscommerce database. basically put OSC into a frame of Joomla - and used the same OSC database for usernames etc...

OR use unconventional thinking ----You could MODIFY the "Reviews" - call it say Receipe Suggestions!..... osCMax is that flexible!
