I know I do three-at-a-time posts, and I'm like that. : )

However I do have a serious problem with the post navigator, especially when I'm editing a post. When I've got one post that I'm going to edit, what's the big deal about Previous 20/Next 20? : )

Also, two identical post navigation tables are awkward-looking in my opinion, and mostly redundant.

I've been thinking about it, and I agree that the extended post navigation table (the current one) should be retained, probably condensed if ever possible. The one at the bottom, should however be reduced to just Next/Previous 20. I don't know, why don't you ask Bruce Tognazinni (inventor of the Apple UI)? I think his e-mail is [email protected], so you could ask him for some advice if he'll reply. : )

Updated: It seems that Brucey-boy is out of the country and will not be around to respond to e-mail, but should be ready to by next year.

I pulled my hair off for two nights on that post navigator. The problem is with the form elements, and the way the browsers would always put an enormous space around them. I've been trying to get everything on just one line, but that's impossible. I'll try to emulate phpMyAdmin's system.

Truth is, to be sure, an absolute notion, in the following sense: 'true for me but not for you' and 'true in my culture but not in yours' are weird, pointless locutions. So is 'true then but not now.' by poker games

It is a simple logical truth that, short of mass emigration into space, with rockets taking off at the rate of several million per second, uncontrolled birth-rates are bound to lead to horribly increased death-rates. It is hard to believe that this simple truth is not understood by those leaders who forbid their followers to use effective contraceptive methods. They express a preference for 'natural' methods of population limitation, and a natural method is exactly what they are going to get. It is called starvation. by empire poker

What is b2 ?
A classy news/weblog tool (aka logware).

How does it work ?
You type something and hit "blog this" and in the next second it's on your page(s). You can write extended entries, or even entries that span multiple pages. You can also use BloggerAPI clients to post to your b2 weblog.
What's original in b2 ? Pages are generated dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy 'rebuilding' is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your news in different 'templates' without any hassle.

Requirements ?
A server that can run PHP4, and a MySQL database (you can install b2 in an already existing database, and you can put several b2's in one database).

Where can I download it ?
b2 0.6 is the latest public release.
You can also visit the CVS server for the latest code, at your own risks.
See the ReadMe file for requirements and installation instructions.

Contact info ?
E-mail: m@tidakada.com
Forums: over there. :)
