Tweak to make it CMF 1.4 friendly.
15.May.2003
Made it plone friendly, read the README carefully if you're using plone(tested with 1.0.1 only). I also tweaked the blog.zexp to make it easier to get up and running with minimal hoop jumping. The README has been greatly changed, so check it as well.

Added an installer script, updated the documentation, that's really it. Meant to post this Sunday but got distracted ;) Questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, postulations on reality, etc etc. all appreciated.

Tweaked the comments code (CMF doesn't handle multiple talkback_trees on the same page real well, so it's been shunted off to the entry itself) and addressed a security issue and a few layout tweaks as well. Oh yea, archiving now works but requires CMFCalendar to be installed. Go into the portal_calendar config in your ZMI and select PABlog, and voila, you have full archiving. There are hoops to jump through to get old entries to show up, I'll document that at some point, but essentially it involves going in and hand editing the publish date.

1.0 is now available. Rewrote about 90% of the front end using Page Templates. A few changes were made in the metainfo of BlogEntry.py that may screw you in the upgrade. You can change them back is you want.

0.7. Well, Blark code didn't lend itself to rewriting. I built a filesystem based product loosely inheriting from CMFBoringProduct and CMFCalendar and faked the rest of it. Fully functional at this point, very useable, code will be posted sometime over Thanksgiving when I finish cleaning it up and documenting it (there are sizeable chunks of system outs). Create/edit/delete/view are all there, entries autopublish on save, layout code is an ugly mix of DTML and TAL which will all become TAL in version 0.8. Or somewhere thereabouts.
I highly recommend using Composite in mozilla as an in place WYSIWYGish editor.

Core product (add/edit/view/delete basic (title/body/creator/date) blog entries) imports smoothly into Zope 2.6/CMF 1.3. UI is ugly ugly ugly, that's next, along with extending the metadata and object methods.
