About
Mango is an open-source blogging platform built on ColdFusion/CFML, designed for flexibility, speed, and simplicity. Whether you’re a developer, a content creator, or a small business, Mango Blog provides a powerful foundation for publishing and managing your ideas online.
Powerful Features to Boost Your Blog
Discover the tools that make Mango flexible, easy to use, and ready for anything. From responsive design to plugin support, these features help you create, customize, and grow your website with ease.
Secure, intuitive admin panel
A password-protected area where authors can easily manage posts, comments, categories, plugins, and themes — all in one place.
Granular permissions for every role
Mango lets you control exactly who can do what. Not every author needs access to site settings or the ability to edit other authors’ posts — with role-based permissions, you decide who can manage content, settings, and more.
Easy setup and management
Mango makes getting started simple with a step-by-step wizard that automatically creates the database, sets up your first users, and lets you choose a theme. It also supports data migration from other blogging platforms and includes built-in logging to keep track of activity and troubleshoot issues.
Highly extensible with plugins
Mango 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.
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 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.
My Philosophy
Mango was created with a simple vision: to empower people to publish and share knowledge easily, while giving developers the freedom to adapt the platform to any project. We believe in open-source collaboration, transparency, and building tools that grow with their communities.
