The fact that LiveBlog is backed up by SourceFabric delivers the reliability we need as we improve our technical requirements. We like that LiveBlog can be embedded into our website by using the html code, it is quite easy the integration. We also like the step forward procedure for embedding posts from all major social networks which is especially important for us since we are very active on them. One of the most important aspects we like about LiveBlog is also its simplicity and quality of the user interface and management system. Our collaborators have unique access to the system so they can publish the content independently, first submitting them for editorial review, later for direct publishing. It has a responsive design, which delivers a good-looking design on both, desktop and mobile. Technical support is awesome, they answer questions almost immediately and solve technical issues within a short time frame. > > **Cons**: LiveBlog behaves like an infinite scroll blog. It works really well with Android; however, we have found some issues while working with iPhone, for example, when we share a link of an entry, the user is supposed to be positioned on the selected entry; on iPhone the user is always located at the top of the blog, in the most recent entry. Commenting about its sharing capabilities, currently, when sharing a post, the general image of the blog is displayed, usually the logo, not an identifying image of the post, such a feature could be very attractive because we share most of our content on social networks. Additionally, it could be positive to have a backup feature for the content, as well as more text-editing features, e.g., highlighting, text to tweet, h1 to h2 html formatting. > > We are quite sure Live Blog fits very good into our journalism strategy, because it has all the main features we were looking for; we wanted a software designed specifically for journalism, and a design, user interface focused on creating a positive reading experience. ----- ### "A good blogging platform for organizations" — 4.0/5 > **Nipon** | *07 May 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything you may need included in subscriptions so you don’t have to worry about third party plugins or extensions. Simple setup and management interface. > > **Cons**: Limited scope of customization. Better platform availability at fraction of this cost > > Neutral.
