What do you mean "pulling the whole thing"?

My code is pulling all the items into an array, then doing an array_slice.
(in case I ever want to display more than one)

Your code is only pulling & cacheing 1 item.

OK, that's what I thought but I wanted to double check.

My code wasn't really related to that. It's just to do some error checking. For example let's say a user puts this in their blog field:

"htpt:\\theirdomain.com/ url.html"

you will have a bad error. The error checking should save some nasty errors on top of the page of any thread that user posts in.

I wonder if error checking would be better in the CP instead of runtime?

You definitely want to error check at runtime (as well as CP) because a url that's good today can be bad tomorrow.

its there anyway to combine this hack with vBJournal?

Yes, me to have the same question as the above :)

The hack itself doesn't even work without hacking it yourself.

The author hasn't posted or updated since August.

Suggest someone create a better one.

Before I found this thread I have already done my new board with up to 3 blogs in the postbit. I will post the code if enough people would like to have it

demo - http://www.pimpmyblog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43

I would be interested but really only need the latest blog to show up for vBJournal.

Thanks
