Free PHP blogging software If you have your own server and want a simple blogging tool that uses Apache, MySQL, and PHP check out the following: http://cafelog.com/ This is a GNU licensed package that works surprisingly well. You can donate to the cause through a PayPal donation if you desire. It includes templates, is easily modifiable and supports providing your blog in an RSS feed format. You can have multile blogs on a single server separated by databases and directories. You can also have one blog and allow others to register and contribute to one large system. Quite versitile. Really cool! 10:42:55 AM    comment []

While checking for new versions of code, I was able to successfully install Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.3 on my PC (W2K). The install went well. However, I noticed that in the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel was displaying all the versions of PHP that I had loaded, 4.2.1, and 4.2.2. When I tried to delete the oldest 4.2.1 it actually removed the entry for 4.2.2. This entry was successfully removed from the list. Upon trying to remove the remaining 4.2.1 I received an error and the entry was eliminated. All the files remained on my system so I had to manually remove them. 10:18:17 AM    comment []
