Let the blog see the rabbit...

Well, I've been busy over the last few days working on the SUCS Blogs code.

First, I moved from "RC's nasty horrible database library" which "really needs replacing with something more sane" (his words) to ADOdb, which is the database library the SUCS site uses. This made it easier to do my second task, which was to turn the Blogs system into a SUCS site component.

As part of the work on the component, I created a method of adding RSS and ATOM feeds to pages within the site, so the chckens then wrote a new Planet component to take advantage of this.

To top it all off, I then wrote two new mini-components to list the most recent blog entries (taken from the Planet ATOM feed) and SUCS forum posts, which now appear on the SUCS front page when you log in.
