Hello

My Q is a general, I can see in all templates that joomlart uses K2 and the normal joomla articles for posting articles with pictures. I cannot see a big different in Implementation of such article/category/picture DB. so for what do I need K2. I’m building a blog and I have hard time desiding where to put my articles..in Joomla content or K2

Any one have an idea ?

Thanks Tom

It seems like a very powerful tool, yet most of the features are covered by joomla, so I’m still confused. to use K2 or not to use. this is the question

To be honest, this is something you will need to decide yourself – whether you feel your site will benefit from the content-creation capabilities of K2 versus an alternative option.

In answer to the OP question the BIG difference is many blog sites like to have comments facility – this is not possible with Joomla articles.
