Thanks for the links Greg.

 

On your last link there is a To Do list which gave me a small chuckle!

 

Future - To Do List

- Comment moderation

- Troll and flame checking

- Email Story Importer

- Sub Topics and Sections

 

 

It only took Geeklog 13 years but we finally got Sub Topics ;-)

original URLs) and was looking for a CMS. When he couldn't find one that he
liked, he went on to write his own - what eventually became Geeklog
(actually, if you check the very end of public_html/docs/history, there's an
entry that refers to another CMS, phpWebLog, which Geeklog seems to have
borrowed some code from).
