PHP Classes blog

The PHPClasses site blog was launched. It is the Web version of the site editor monthly newsletter. Past newsletters were republished in this blog. The blog commenting system was implemented with moderation and forum or thread update e-mail notification support. The trackback system lets the site keep track of posts about this blog on other blogs. Allowing the site users to have their own blogs using this system is being considered. The way the blog system was built is described at the end.
