    I'm very much looking forward to the Dominoblog 8.0 Theme Manager finally seeing the light of day... this is a much awaited tool which seems inexplicably to have vanished since Steve talked about it. I realise that one could reverse engineer the code in the 'yellow' model, but I'd rather have a system that does it for me and allows me to try out ideas.

    2. Slide 2: IBM Lotus Software What is a Blog?  A blog (short for weblog) is a online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general consumption.  Blogs are defined by their format: a series of entries posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author/s or reflect the purpose of the Web site that hosts the blog.  The author of a blog is often referred to as a blogger. Many blogs syndicate their content to subscribers using RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a popular content distribution tool. © 2006 IBM Corporation
