I've gotta disagree - self posting pages are much shorter and sweeter
than cramming misc. form data into session just to carry it between
forms, validation, processing, and the "thanky." In fact, they form
the core of some other web app technologies (ASP.NET).
I think Sean ran the PHP blog because it's what was available at the
time - I can't remember what, but for a while, it seemed like you
either ran a PHP blog like moveableType or wrote your own, and having
done the latter, it's the real PITA here.

he wants to do is go back to the form page if the username already
exists and have the form fields contain the info that was submitted.
