blojsom 1.7 available or "You are in a maze of weblogs, all alike. Think blojsom, and get out!"

« A new blojsom motto! | Main | This is a test via MozBlog »

Run, don't walk to your nearest SourceForge download page for blojsom and pickup the latest version. Of interest in this release:

Changed the BlojsomPlugin.process() method to also accept the HttpServletResponse to allow for plugins to manipulate things like cookies
Referer plugin has been re-written to allow tracking and totaling by flavor, as well as only showing today's referer's. And we know how much fun that can be given the recent FBI referer scandal
New Calendar plugin that renders a visual calendar into your blog, hyperlinking dates that have entries
Calendar navigation code has moved to the new Calendar Filter plugin. If you want to continue to have calendar url navigation on your blog, please be sure to add this plugin to the start of one of your flavor-based plugin chains
Added the Send Email plugin that allows other plugins to send email messages
Comment and Trackback plugin will now e-mail comments and trackbacks (if enabled) to the blog owner

I'm not going to give the whole changelog, you can check it out yourself.

Mark has added a second theme called "SecondWave". I'm hoping to get the "Green Lantern" style sheet from Andres.

Oh, and if you want to talk flexibility, you might want to check out Chris' weblog over at Sixlegs. Chris wrote a FreeMarker dispatcher, some accompanying templates, and a FreeMarker Calendar plugin. So, that means you really have some flexibility in terms of your presentation. JSP, Velocity, and now FreeMarker. /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif
