Work continues....

I'm making progress on the next release of LnBlog. I've implemented file upload support and am working on an (optional) interface to write files via FTP. In fact, I've finished the backend class and it seems to work, so now I need to integrate it with the rest of the code. The idea is to work around that annoying issue where the files in your weblog are not owned by your account, but rather the Apache account. Instead of letting the web server write the files using native filesystem funcitons, we can use PHP's FTP interface functions, to authenticates to the FTP server using your credentials and writes the files by using FTP commands.

I'm also planning to add some interface elements to the next release. For example, I need to add per-blog login creation, as well as both editing and deleting for comments and entries (right now entries have editing and comments have deleting). I was also thinking of adding an abstract field, i.e. a summary, for entries and articles to support that "teaser links to full article" thing that a lot of sites have. And as long as I'm at it, I was thinking RSS feeds for comments might be nice, as well as a GUI for changing the site map and adding articles to the side bar.
