		<description>tried to use this plugin because I have been looking for some way to manage multiple blogs but this plug in caused a white page to appear each time a group was added. I finally had to delete the files through FTP and then go into cpanel to repair the MySql Table. This was the only way to get the blog back.</description>

		<description>Ovidiu&#039;s right, this plugin&#039;s functionality could be achieved by modifying the theme files. And I haven&#039;t had a theme before that I haven&#039;t modified. But what do you think other Wordpress plugins do? Their functionalities could also be achieved by modifying files, for example, SEO plugins, you could put it the tags, the markups, the modifications and viola! You have no use of the plugin if you know how to do it manually.

You could even take a blank HTML page, modify it to come up with something like Wordpress itself:) So now, if you get my point, does your opinion still hold? I really hope you read this, hehehe.

@csandu Goodluck on the competition:D</description>

		<description>Ok,I am satisfied with your explanations, but talking about modifying themes (category template) you speak of &quot;tending to leave WP files alone&quot; - in my opinion theme files are no WP files, but they are meant to be changed.

Good luck with your plugin in the competition.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right. Of course you can change the category template so that when browsing the archive for a category, all posts will look the same as on a normal posts page (not sure if I recommend this, though... I tend to leave WP files alone). I&#039;m not sure how this will behave when activating different themes on your blog, though (some themes may choose to have their own way of displaying category archives). However, the trick will work only for those who know programming, and also have access to WP files. If you&#039;re stuck on a host where direct access to WP is a no-go, then... 

What&#039;s more, what my plugin does is to list your group names (or miniblog names) on the top navigation menu, along with your static pages (should you choose this option in the plugin options page). This way, you can have separate blogs on the same blog install, each one being navigable individually from that menu... not sure how can you do this unless you&#039;re going deeper in the WP files.

If you do so, I&#039;m not sure what&#039;ll happen when WP evolves to a new version and things change in the way categories are handled (after all, categories and posts are different beasts in WordPress, and go their separate ways). You&#039;ll probably end up changing things again and again for your category template.</description>

		<description>ok, I think I understood you right this time, still one more question remains:

If I understood this right, I could achieve the same by modifying my category templates, right?</description>

		<description>Hi ovidiu... I guess I&#039;m not so good at explaining things :-) I&#039;ll try again...

I think you&#039;re talking about browsing the list of categories. If it&#039;s not so, then let me know. But if this is what we&#039;re discussing here, then, yes, what my plugin does might sound as if reinventing the categories. Basically, you have lots of posts placed under various categories, and each category can be navigated individually... However, when you browse through the posts belonging to a category, this looks different than your blog home page (depending on what theme you are using). For example, when I click on a category name, my current theme is showing only the post title and hides its content, and I have a &quot;whatever_category_name Archives&quot; heading on top.

My plugin allows you to define post groups which act as miniblogs for your WordPress website. Each miniblog can be accessed either through the top blog navigation or through the widget exposed by the plugin. You can place your posts in these groups, with each group looking the same (that is, you have the same look &amp; feel for each group as for the blog home page: each post is shown with its title, content, comment count, post date, so on).

I&#039;ve just released a new version for my plugin; it improves some things, and solves some minor bugs. If you&#039;re still interested in it, then you can give it a try.

Let me know if I got it right this time :-)</description>

		<description>excuse my ignorance, but this sounds like you are re-inventing categories :-)

would you please explain your plugin a little more in detail?</description>
