Matt,

Ah... Well, it sounds like you had a bad experience. I'd go with Ray's
blog... He's such a giant most of us are afraid to criticize his code so
instead of looking too close  you will end up saying "hmm.... he must have
known what he was doing" (ha).

Unfortunately the client has already purchased BlogFusion and is dropping it
cuz it doesn't support multiple users.  I set it up for them and I have to
say it wasn't a good experience.  

Variables being set in /Application.cfm without being inside of a cfif
isdefined() or something similar, which is forgivable I suppose, but a bad
sign.  

The database installer is built so that if it detects tables that it wants
already exist...  it drops them and creates its own under the assumption
that they must belong to BF I guess ... and it uses simple table names like
'users'.  So if you try and use it on an existing dsn and a table name
collides you are royally screwed if you just run the installer without
reading over it and finding this little bomb.  This also essentially
requires that you put BF into its own dsn given the method of naming tables.
Plus it doesn't support username and password in cfquery, so you have to put
those into the dsn in cf admin or revise all of the queries, which I did.

Sorry for the bad vibes but this one freaked me out a little at the time.
