The IBM Blog
Tuesday 3rd October, 2006Domino 7.0.2 comes complete with the new "IBM Blog" template.
Adapted from Steve Castledine's Dominoblog template, and indeed showing it's roots in the dominoblog.ntf template filename, the new template allows Domino to fully support RSS enabled blogs out of the box.
As the "about" document in the template explains...
This database allows you to create individual or team based "blog" websites or other types of content based websites.
The database works straight out of the box after completing a simple creation wizard.
Current Features
Template and Tag based design makes it easy to change default designs to suit individual or corporate requirements
Full inbuilt RSS Feeds from Content/Comments and Categories of Content
Comment/Discussion system with anti-spam functionality
Future automatic publishing or expiry of content
Notes and Web based content editing
Supports Podcasting
Automatic Content Archiving and Searching
Social Bookmarking
But how well does it work?
A review of the template, and how it compares to the original Dominoblog template will follow. Until then, this is how it looks out of the box

What place does a blog have in an Enterprise ?
email:Ben Rose | website: http://www.jaffacake.net
Personally I think blogs are handy for project status reporting.
For example if I had a blog for my ND6 -> ND7 upgrade project I could then blog major milestones, e.g. the servers in this location have been upgrade to R7 or the new client install package has been created.
These can be linked off the intranet and readers can post comments as required. Managers can subscribe to RSS feeds so information is fed to them without the need for email.

Charles - the blog tempate can do intranets - I've done many before using it.
