Blogging in EverWeb for Adobe Muse Users

If you’re an Adobe Muse user, you may have already started looking for a replacement for it as Adobe will cease support for this discontinued product as of March 26, 2020. When looking for a Muse replacement, you probably have a list of criteria that should be met in your new purchase. One criteria you may have is for a proper blogging environment. Muse’s support for blogging is very limited and as such creating and managing a blog may take more time, effort and money than you want to invest.

Blogging with Adobe Muse
Most Muse users know that blogging is achieved in the product through free, or paid for, third party widgets or by creating a blog within other products such as WordPress or Tumblr and then embedding code from these products into Muse itself. Muse also includes an RSS feed widget that can be used when blogging.

Blogging with EverWeb
At the end of the day, the main outcome is that blogging with Muse can be an underwhelming experience. As such, when looking for a replacement product, you may want a fully featured blogging environment. EverWeb has just such an environment as its blogging feature is deeply embedded within the core of the product. This means there’s very little learning required to start blogging. and there is complete integration with other parts of EverWeb. Blog posts are easy to create and maintain and you don’t have to go to other third party products either to manage your blog.
