Donator Thanked: 1 time	Hi Kort, That is a fair point, however the idea behind this set of tutorials is to take it to the next level and day by day build and eventually have a fully-fledged plugin for Blogs which the users can create and modify as well as choose how they want their blogs displayed from a set list of customisable templates. It also allows the users to customise the look and feel of their blogs rather than a specific-structured approach which news.cat templates give. This approach is more based around novice\new developer users who do not have many years of coding experience and would like to understand and learn how the plugin and skin architecture works in a simple way and also how easy it is to extend existing plugins, thus they gain knowledge of the internals rather than just the externals. [b]Know the question and you will be far more likely to get an answer.[/b]
