Hi there,
Currently I have a vBulletin blog that I update a couple of times a month, just talking about society and media and how they intersect and what not. It's simply a passtime that I do for fun when I have something to say.
But, because it's on vBulletin, it lacks a lot of the functionality that other blogs have, specifically in regards to commenting and promotion. I think people are less interested in reading and responding except for my friends who are already on the forums (which is awesome in and of itself!) but I want to reach out to other readers as well.
Is it a good idea to perhaps start up a wordpress and cross post the blogs there? Is this a no-no?
vBulletin's CMS suite thing has a lot of options, but they're just not as useful as I had hoped for the price. The blog, for instance, lacks the ability to have 'share it' links, and doesn't allow guests to respond without signing up for an account. It's also less likely to get picked up by technorati or other blogging sites because of the integration. Since it's also not seperate from, say, other people's blog posts, it's a lot more difficult to remember the url.
Does anyone else have a vBulletin blog? Are there any mods or options out there to improve it?
Really hoping this is the appropriate place, and I am so sorry if it's not!
