Further to the above, would the 3rd part linking plugin cause any problems/risk re a 3rd party Volusion eFulfilment partner integration e.g. via Shipwire?

I do wish Volusion had the capability to host an internal blog to my site. I feel like I am missing out on the SEO benefits of an internal blog because of my inability to do this on Volusion.

Just use the following steps: Create a Tumblr account. Go to the Goodies page and get the embed code. You can then paste that into an article and you're set. (You'll need to add some CSS to remove the bullets as it posts your updates into a list on your store side) You can also use tumblr to add a blog to your Volusion store.

Creating a subdomain for your blog and crosslinking is horrible for SEO. I absolutely feel crippled as well not having blog integration on my volusion store: Worker Safety Products.

We're handicapped by the inability to embed a blog in your software, and this may be the deciding factor in my choosing another e-comm platform. It would be ideal for Volusion to have a blog add-on, and I would definitely pay extra for it as well. Joe I agree with Peter.

I'm selling a lot of products that my larger competitors are selling. I've spent a lot of time making my product descriptions unique but I'm not sure if it's going to make a monumental difference. Although hosting a blog externally has its benefits, I really REALLY hope Volusion starts developing a way for us to host a blog internally. I would pay extra and, I hate to say this, but will defninitely switch to another solution if I can find one that hosts blogs internally. Keep the great info coming! Peter Kate,
