I'm glad to hear you'll be coming back,
SirAdrian. I didn't even notice the site was down until I saw this post and a mention from
Lizard King over at vb.com that the site needed "resurrecting."
Shredded, if you'd like to see a working vblogetin setup, you can visit ours at
http://www.epiguide.com/forums/blogs/ . If you click on a few different blogs you'll notice that many have different styles, which blog owners can select as they choose. That's something vBlogs doesn't offer. Also, people can add or remove content blocks in their blogs, which is another feature I don't see in vBlogs yet.
We're a small and not very active community but I do think the vblogetin component will be a big help to engaging our users during some upcoming community projects.
