Dev blogs

[Murphy, Ged (Bolton)]

I'd quite like to see the blog page integrated into the site and made to
look pretty.

I also think it might entice devs to start using the thing. At the moment
there is only about 4 people listed, and of those only Alex every actually
uses it.

Would developers make an effort to start blogging if it was 'spruced up'
and integrated?
If not, I think it should be removed as it looks a bit pitiful as it is and
gives the impression not much is going on (which is obviously not the case)

It doesn't always have to be development related stuff in there. Anything
interesting draws a crowd.

Ged.

Is the blog split fixed now?  When there was one on the main site, I used it
but some people were saying 'dont use it'.  I never quite knew what to do to
hook up with the other blog.

more work on it and let me know when it was ready.

Yeah, it's been fixed for a while. It's accessible via the quick link 
menu on the home page.
However it's a big ugly, and Only Alex ever really seems to use it.

I'd like to see something nice like this  http://www.kernelmustard.com  
put in place.
I'd start using it also.

Steve uses WordPress, and blogs.reactos.com is using asp.net blogs.  
While, i would like it to look as nice as WordPress looks, I would 
rather wait and have it intergrated into ROS CMS as planned and follow 
the same style and layout.
