Why don't you pop an email to Ray about it? Ray has to be one of the best people in the CF community about giving away code and helping people out when they ask. Don't be shy about popping him an email, as he is probably one of the nicest dudes you'd ever meet.
I use a very old version of BlogCFC and have been totally happy with it. I've done my own extensions to it, and find the codebase to be simple to understand. I'm sure it has changed significantly in the years since the release I'm using. ----- Original Message ---- From: Dusty Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 6:26:10 PM Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] integrate blog with cf site Just so I understand correctly I've already built a login system from the ground up using cf and sql 2000. Do you think I could somehow integrate word press or BlogCFC so it could use the existing system that is built with cf and sql 2000? There are 20,000+ users in the database and we want those users and new account signups to have access to the blog and in the near future a forum as well.
