What do you like best about Live Blog?

I love that you don't need to know coding in order to update your blog posts -- it has been way easier than other options like Wordpress. It is very easy to insert social media links directly into blog posts. It is easy to source SEO keywords with themes. Live Blog is open source which is always admirable. I love that it is a journalist-owned organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live Blog?

I really like the feaures but the software is relatively new - I believe there could be more "bells and whistles" added to the themes but I'm sure this will come over time. Their team is always adept at working on and improving features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Live Blog:

I think it's definitely worth it to give it a demo to see if it meets your companies needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Live Blog solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solved the problem of fighting with Word Press databases. Live Blog is very intuitive and user friendly which is a big plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
