Clonable module

A major appeal is to clone the module or change the locationTexto em itálico'' of their installation. Some languages may need to use a different name or have multiple instances of same module. Be clonando the module or allowing its installation in a directory with a different name, it would be very welcome. Example: Simply install the module with the directory blog and not imblogging.

SEO Feature

[http://community.impresscms.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id 22585#forumpost22585 SEO (something similar to our content manager)] Accepted, it will be As for SEO, yes, our IcmsPersistable Framework has (or will, I need to check) this built in so it shall be included in the module very soon. Everything is already there (short_url field...) --GibaPhp 09:52, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Theme per Poster

Option to select customised theme based on user selected? Useful for multi-user blog sites I agree too, exelent idea --GibaPhp 07:40, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

What's a blog?

A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules. In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not. You want to know more? Install this module in your site ImpressCMS and will enjoy a great program for Blog.
