This is timely, as I just installed wordpress last week (php based blog) for a client -- didn't seem worth my time to develop somthing when there are so many good blogs already available.

I was actually surprised at the way the php world builds the database -- each instance of a blog (same with phpBB forum) gets a prefix onto the table names, rather than using a single set of tables with a key to designate the blog. I suppose that this probably makes indexing faster and simplifies full text search.

D you intend a community development model to allow field suggestions/changes to get rolled back in? Or should we
just take this as a starting point?

Hi,
I have just put online a blogging application I have been hacking at. I
have been writing it on and off for the last few weeks as time permitted.
Although it is a bit of a hack, it works quite well for basic blogging. It
is a good starting point for anyone that needs this type of functionality in
a site. The appearance is controlled completely by CSS so the layout can be
modified easily. There are no tables in tables etc. There are still a few
features not completed/started but I am hoping to get to those in the coming
weeks.


Working Features:
Ability to create multiple blogs
Ability to create entries within blogs
Optional comments
Comments are colourised based on owner, logged in user and others.

To download the source just register as a blog user and click on “The
