Yes, you heard right, I’ll be back soon and I’m not just talking about new posts, no no no, something bigger is coming. I have silently developed a new blogging web application that will completely replace WordPress, the one I’m using right now. I don’t want to reveal too much right now, just that it’ll be what you would expect from a real social web 2.0 Ajax weblog. The system is based on PHP, mySQL, xajax, Prototype and moo.fx. The PHP and some additional JavaScript is written from the ground up for this project and some of the mySQL queries join up to seven tables!
Ok, enough for now. Closed beta is on its way … I’ll let you know about how to register for it later on this blog, so don’t forget to check back soon.

Is it going to support multiple blogs from a single installation?

Not the first version, but the whole db design is already prepared for multiple blogs, so the transition will be as easy as possible. I’m not sure if I’ll use the multi user version for this site here, but there will be a site where you can register for your own blog (the domain is already registered).

Is this something you can add as a component to Joomla / Mambo? I have several Joomla sites.

Not without some modifications and honestly … it wouldn’t make much sense. It’s like you would try to make WordPress into a Mambo component, wouldn’t make much sense either.

Based on your how your site looks, can’t wait to see it.

So what’s the deal? When are you coming back? I’ve checked a few times and nothing has changed. I’m looking forward to new posts.

It comes when it comes. I’m currently so deep into client work, there simple isn’t any free time I could spend on it right now. I currently have a few projects that are just a few weeks of work from realease, but yeah, client is always king, first thing you learn if you have your own business. After all they pay my bills.
