Highly extensible with plugins

Mango Blog features a flexible plugin architecture that allows you to expand its functionality to suit your needs. Plugins can modify rendered output, track statistics, implement user notifications, and much more — giving you complete control over how your blog behaves.

Quick install and effortless setup

Mango's installer takes care of the heavy lifting for you — it automatically creates the database, sets up your first users, and even includes a step-by-step wizard to guide you through the process. You can also import content from other blog engines, making it easy to switch without losing your posts or comments. In just a few minutes, you’ll be ready to start publishing.

Fully skinnable

You can choose from several free, ready-to-use themes to give your site a fresh look right away, or design your own theme for complete control over layout, colors, and style. Whether you want a simple personal blog or a custom design that matches your brand, Mango makes it easy to create a look that’s uniquely yours.

Always up to date

Mango Blog automatically notifies you when a new version is available. With just a single click, you can upgrade to the latest release — no manual downloads or complicated steps required. Staying secure and enjoying new features has never been easier.

What users say

Mango Blog Is Truly Impressive. The setup was quick and painless; it just worked flawlessly the first time. The blog is fast, looks good (by default, and can be made to look even better quite easily by using other skins, some of which are included and others can be easily downloaded and activated), and the Administrator tool is superb. I started working through Laura’s code, and honestly, this is some of the best ColdFusion code I have ever seen. It is well organized, consistent, documented, highly understandable

Ben Forta Adobe's Senior Director of Education Initiatives

I am extremely impressed by the quality of the software. Installing Mango is a breeze, and should really set a standard for how a ColdFusion application should manage installation. The first thing that strikes you when you log in to the admin of Mango is that a lot of care was taken in the user-interface. The admin has a very clean and usable UI that you could present to someone who isn't even extremely web savvy and they would understand it.
