SimplyBlog Software for Blog Networks Durable Link to this BLOG
What is a Blog Network?

A blog network is a collection of blogs sharing member authentications, clip art, revenue models etc.

Some good examples of blog networks are: Gawker, and InstaBlogs.

Some people might consider Blog Hosting firms as a Blog Network as well. By this definition, there are a lot more blog networks.

List of Blog Networks has a long compilation.

Software to Start a Blog Network

I have modified the SimplyBlog engine so that it can used to start a Blog Network.

The authentication credentials can come from a different system (like LDAP or a forum Database such as phpBB), so you don't have to change the world just to be able to offer blogs to your users.

As a demo, I am starting Kamat Blog Network. I sent some invitations, and it already it has 3 many blogs.

  • Amateur Webmaster Blog -- My technical experiences of maintaining Kamat's Potpourri
  • WeTube -- Just like You Tube, but just for desis.
  • Malli's Potpourri -- Birds, Stamps, and Studies of D.G. Mallikarjuna
  • SimplyBlog Blog -- A blog about the SimplyBlog software system
  • Secrets of Raji's Kitchen -- Carefully preserved traditional recipes of Tamilnadu

One of the features of SimplyBlog always has been to merge different blogs into one page -- each blog having its own template. This feature turns out to be an excellent way to start Blog Network.

This is how I surf the web. Turns out creating your own start page beats all portals, back-flipping, personalized corporate pages, and book-marking tools.
