LifeType is a blogging platform that has native support for adding multiple blogs and multiple users all into the one ‘back end’ panel. This multi-user/multi-blog concept is really nice and is just finally making its way to some of the larger blogging platforms. Since LifeType has been doing it basically since the platform was launched, however, they have already worked out any issues so it runs nice and smoothly. The platform is open source, like most blogging platforms and is coded with PHP using MySQL databases. It includes most of the features you’d expect including native RSS, mobile integration, permalinks and more. The one thing I’ve found about this system is that it doesn’t get updates nearly as often as most other options. As of this writing (October, 2015) the last release was back in 2013. This may be a cause for concern for some users. Others, of course, would argue that if something isn’t broken, there is no need to fix it. Which is correct is a decision left to each individual webmaster.
If you’re not impressed with LifeType you can choose from many other blogging platforms that are available today. The following are just a few of the many options to choose from:
While LifeType is not nearly as popular as many other blogging platform options, there are some sites that use it. If you want to see it on a live site, check out following options:
If you’re just looking to put up a simple site and you don’t need advanced templates or anything like that, LifeType may be a great option for you. It is especially nice if you are planning on starting a ‘community blog’ where multiple users will be updating it. This platform, however, doesn’t get updated frequently enough and doesn’t have enough templates or plugins out there to make it a good option for a site if you want it to grow and become popular.
