Blob 2 - It's Official

The Blob Blog System is going 2.0!

In the release of Blob 2 (Electric Boogaloo), we hope to deliver:
- powerful, yet simple website integration while maintaining Blob's independence;
- intuitive, bbcode-style theming elements;
- the much-needed tags;
- a plugin architecture for all of your custom code needs;
- a unified, feature-rich, powerful control panel;
- more user-friendly installer;
- better security;
- built-in caching;
- documentation, anyone?
- and basically anything else we can think of.

Let's face it - BLOB 1 was a hastily and shoddily scaled-up version of my own personal website's very simple CMS. Features were hacked in on top of the poor database structure, and sloppy, patchy (and often drunk) programming was everywhere.

Blob 2 will address those issues. Redesigned and reprogrammed from scratch, it aims to fit the needs of the modern blogging world: providing powerful features while keeping everything ultimately simple.

WordPress remains hopelessly bloated, crippled by populism, and unwilling to change thanks its status as king of the blogging hill. Blob 2 will provide a streamlined system to counter WordPress and bring the features the general blogging public wants without the hassle they don't need.
