[thelist] ping technorati

[Bob Meetin]

Thanks, I can write and add PHP to any of my forms, perhaps the function which publicizes the blog entry, but when it comes to curl and what you're suggesting, 
that's beyond me. Any chance you can send me some sample code and talk to where it needs to be implemented? I will also be setting up an RSS feed, but that's 
pretty straight forward (have done that before).

What gives here is that there are a number of blog/comment components built for Joomla (sorry Fred), but the better ones come with a commercial license, yet in 
the case of the one I spent the bucks on over the weekend, is awkward to use. Lots of bells/whistles/config options, some very good, but a bit funky with 
permissions/usage.  I will be looking at the commercial wordpress component later this week.
