Start of a blog thinger... here's how it works:

1) Any message which is NOT a reply to another message is a blog post. 2) All replies to that message (and replies to them etc.) are "comments" 3) Blog posts can be filtered by poster, year, month, and day by the URL http://mybbs.synchro.net/blogs/Deuce Would be my blog entries. http://mybbs.synchro.net/blogs/Deuce/2007 Would be my blog entries for 2007 http://mybbs.synchro.net/blogs/Deuce/2007/02/18 My blog entries for Feb. 18th, 2007 I still haven't figured out the best way to display comment threads... Any succestions are welcome.
