> oh, i have already emailed the FlatPress link to several SPHPB-using
> friends. one of them - http://www.cyberware.ca - made a great gallery
> plug-in, and i got him to adapt it to work with LightBox JS. it's only
> implemented on some of his gallery pages right now, for example -
> http://www.cyberware.ca/blog/gallery.php?_cat=people - and it's a
> work in progress, but i bet it would work on FlatPress too!

> i would like to suggest the incorporation of a REAL editor, for
> example, the very robust and free Tiny MCE -
> http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ - pppBlog (which mixes SPHPblog and
> TFTgallery together) - http://tiedemann.ifastnet.com/pppblog/ -has
> put in FCKeditor - http://www.fckeditor.net - but one can choose to
> use the regular editor or the enhanced one.

> THANK YOU VERY MUCH for showing me FlatPress!!!

> it's very exciting. are you working on it with NoWhereMan? it looks quite
> interesting. it has bothered me a bit that SPHPB has W3C validation
> problems. i am most wanting to know how to take my SPHPB content and put

> titles. nice touch. great logo too! anyway, I have just subscribed to the
> mailing list.

> it is nice to hear how themes can be made in what seems like a simpler
> fashion. i was actually planning on developing some themes for SPHPB. i

> one thing i find very frustrating about SPHPB is that there is ZERO

> page is for. and when there is little commenting, well, it's not easy.

> who want to teach themselves, well, it could be better documented.

> already, i see some things explained on -

> so that is encouraging. i'm a writer, and i'd be glad to contribute in
