Overview
The Blog extension gives you a noteworthy opportunity to communicate with your regular customers and casual visitors. With Blog you can create an interactive two-way communication platform to provide official information on your store news, upcoming products, promotions, and get customers’ feedback.
Blogging has proved to be called one of the best effective marketing tactics. If your customers feel that they are listened to and their needs are responded to, they are more likely to come back to your store again and again.
Want to learn more about your customers’ choices, views, and preferences? Just let people leave comments and listen what they say! Being a part of the blog community, your customers will openly exchange their thoughts and express their opinions. A blog, with its readers and their comments, forms a real “live” environment where people feel free to communicate.

Thank You! that's a really cool extention.. but I had a bug with a different skin on magento 1.4.
I can't had the wysiwyg on post edit..
There is the fix:
In the file /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/aw_blog/head.phtml
replace this two rows:
<script src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('') ?>aw_blog/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('') ?>aw_blog/js/init_rte.js"></script>
with these:
<script src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('aw_blog/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js') ?>"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('aw_blog/js/init_rte.js') ?>"></script>
I lost 3 hour to find out this fix!!!!

Thanks and Request for Latest Posts Module
Review by Kate | Aug 6, 2010
- This is a remarkably useful extension, thank you so much. Any chance a latest post block module might be in the works? I'd love to see a snippet of the latest post (or posts) available in a block that I could then place anywhere. :)

1.0.20 great - with wysiwyg!
Review by terraGirl | Jul 15, 2010
- Just upgraded from 1.0.19 to 1.0.20, all went without a hitch. Best feature of 1.0.20 is that it now contains the same WYSIWYG editor as the Magento CMS pages including image upload! Many thanks to AW for a great community add-on.

Multilingual
Review by Chris | Feb 21, 2010
- Excellent extension, it would be even nicer with multilingual capabilities. Currently, You can't keep the same identifier for different store views, which would allow for additional languages for the same post. (As we do for blocks and CMS pages)
