RE: [Blogcfc-develop] First big discussion

[Raymond C. <jed...@mi...>]

One of my goals for the next rev of the blog, after this big change, was
XML as a data storage _option_. As for initialization, I have no issues
with switching to an xml file, except it may be a bit harder to edit.

One thing though - I do NOT like having info (I mean info that defines
the blog) in the ini _and_ in the db. To me, it seems like it should be
one or the other completely.
