looBlogs - Journal/blog system I am developing

[Brad]

After much thought I have decided to re-open development on my journal add on, because gold is here and I have some new idea's I am expanding the hack itself

This hack will be released to the public soon in beta testing form, you will be allowed to run it with limited support, everything will not be added at first
so some might choose to wait. While I do plan on writting importers at some time they will not be added until after stable status.

This hack will require mysql 4, and probbly a late version of php 4
