vBulletin just announced the release of vBulltin Blog! For those of you that have been living under a rock, vBulletin
is the wildly popular forum software and the only one I use.
Here is the official release:
vBulletin Blog 1.0.0 Released
Jelsoft is pleased to announce that the next vBulletin add-on product, vBulletin Blog, is now available to purchase from the online order system.
About vBulletin Blog
vBulletin Blog is a fully featured blogging add-on that enables community members to create their very own online blogs within vBulletin. Giving members a place to post thoughts, ideas and musings will keep users returning to the community again and again, and advanced administration features allow forum owners and moderators to keep control and integrate Blog into vBulletin’s existing look and feel.Fast Start
vBulletin Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar vBulletin editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.Fully-Featured
It is a feature-rich blog application, with support for fully formatted WYSIWYG posts, attachments, comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, draft posts and categories, as well as seamless integration with the overall vBulletin system.Blog Home Page
Available via a single click from any vBulletin page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected by the administrator or at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.Syndication and Subscriptions
Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for vBulletin subscriptions enables users to join their favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.Blog Control Panel
The Blog Control Panel empowers members to control every aspect of their blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.Pricing and Ordering
vBulletin Blog is priced at $50, which includes one year of software updates. The renewal fee for an additional year of updates is $20.
I have been incredibly excited about the release of vBulletin Blog and am glad that it’s finally here. $50 is nothing for a blog system that will help to further enhance the community aspect of forums by providing an outlet for members to create their own blog on your forum. I’m sure that there will be several plugins available in the coming weeks that will display “top” blogs and a lot of other cool things.
Will you buy the vBulletin blog?

I may wait til 3.7.0 to even think about buying this. The integrated social networking mod should be cool and may have a blog of its own.
BTW: Congrats on being a top commenter on John Chow, hopefully it sends you some good traffic.
Hey David,
Yah I think I may wait until 3.7 as well, but I certainly will be buying it this year at least.
