Latest News:

I will be taking advantage of this summer period to look into RSS and fix minor glitches with PerlBlog. The version that is kept online at this page is kept in synch with the downloadable version; therefore, should you encounter any glitchs on the online version, please do not hesitate to point it out to me so I can fix it and update the download.

1.09 is now online: Firefox compliance has been fixed, Asian character support is enabled, and recent posts are now supported.

1.09 is nearly completed, with minor fixes, adjustments, and "recent posts" support. Of course, you'll be able to control how many recent posts you want displayed. The footer also now has customizable link and hover attributes.

The latest release solves minor issues and confusions, and adds further customizable areas, most notably in the header section. It now also validates as XHTML 1.0 strict.

Next up- a recent posts lineup option!

I'm pleased to announce the result of hardwork and effort- PerlBlog version 1.08! Now with on-demand popup commenting, and the number of posts displayed on the main page can be predetermined. As usual, the archives are automatically created each month. Weblog-admin.pl is now free of glitches (a miracle indeed).

Latest developments include a QuickTag banner that allows you to use them to decorate your post with emphasis, codes, and external links. Comes with a dictionary checker too!

We welcome Mason to the development team. With his expertise in Perl, this script is bound to improve!
