pLog becomes LifeType
The steadily growing popularity of pLog through out the last year made
Amazon.com aware of the weblog project. Amazon has registred the word
"plog" as a trademark before the pLog weblog project started back in
2003. They contacted us, kindly offering support
for registering new domains and rebranding our project.On November the 1st, the official transition from pLog to LifeType started with the going public of three project websites: LifeType.net is the main project site providing support forums and documentation through a wiki, LifeType.de for the german community and LifeType.org.tw for the chinese speaking community.

theaternotabene.ch now running pLog pre 1.0.2
I upgraded theaternotabene.ch, another pLog powered site, last weekend to the upcoming bugfix release (1.0.2). After a medium to large mess with the database during the upgrade process (guess I should have tested the wizard before), everything is working smooth now.Theaternotabene.ch is running pLog since version 0.3.2 and was never upgraded because I wrote a contact form plugin for that version and the plugin framework got improved massively afterwards for version 1.0 (but was not backward compatible). I finally took the time to rewrite it (badly hacked) to make it work with the new framework, and I'm glad I've done it. :) I hopefully get the time to work a bit more on that plugin to release it to the community. Can't do it for now, It'd be too embarrassing to show the code to anybody...
BTW: Check out the nice favicon - was very easy to create with the FavIcon from Pics online service. ;-)
Le-Pierrot.ch ready for Prime Time :)
Setting up a new website, be it as a real blogging or as a very simple CMS, is super easy and fast with pLog. At Le-Pierrot.ch pLog is ment to serve rather as a CMS than a blog for several reasons:(More)
Maintenance Release of pLog available
This first maintenance release after version 1.0 of pLog comes with many little improvements and bugfixes.
Upgrading from version 1.0 is as easy as overwriting all the files with the new ones - no database upgrade is necessary for any maintenance releases of pLog (first DB upgrade will have to happen with version 1.1).
Besides all the very important bugfixes there are some nifty little features I'd like to point out here (pardon me if I miss one, though): (More)

Updated ICE Template
Every post had a the trackback info twice, which resulted in dublicated trackbacks! Please get the updated ICE template. You may manually edit the file postandcomments.template alternatively. Only thing to do is removing the following line:
<!-- {$url->postTrackbackLink($post)} -->
ICE released!
I'm happy to provide the pLog community with my first template. It's the one currantly active on this blog. If you like it you may download it at my plog project pages - and for the ones in hurry i'm providing a direct link here. ;)Ice is (or should be) fully XHTML 1.0 strict and CSS compliant and it's using IE7 that is included in pLog 1.0 to render nicely in Internet Explorer.
