Page vs. Blog
By Dan Huff
Hello,
I'm seeing both Page and Blog plugins to my page. However... I'm not really sure why we would need both of them. I'm trying to keep my site clean and simple. Can someone please help me understand the differences between Page and Blog? Is there any reason why we would need both of them at the same time?
Thanks,
Dan

You must log in to post replies.blog = blog, nice and simple.
Pages to me = poor man's wiki plugin. Child pages & hierarchy can work in this way. A few enhancements and it could be a very well organized personal wiki for users/groups.
But then, that's just through my eyes.
Elgg is a "framework." We can do what we want with it. Thus both Blog Posts and Pages are available.
When might both be needed? If a site was close to a typical blog format, with lots of chronological posts and a few important, general-interest pages. Or, on my site, as another example, there have been some blog posts by "site-wide" users, but within the Groups, I can see where Pages might be useful. So I keep both.
But if you only see a need for one, feel free to remove the other. (I admit, I cannot give you the 1,2,3 ... steps to remove one of them, but it should be quite do-able.)
Simply go to the Tool Administration in the Admin Section and disable the one you don't wish to use.
