    I had my vanilla set up how I wanted but something wasn't quite right. I had three pages which I wanted to display as blogs. However, the blog extension only allowed me to do this with one page.

    Upon searching for a solution, guess who happened to turn out to be my savouir?

    Installing now - will let you know how it goes.

    Ok it's not quite doing what I want.
    I was wondering if you know how I can solve this.

    I was thinking of just using multiple Blog extensions, and simply changing the settings. But I have a feeling using the same extension twice will cause problems.

    Any ideas?

    Edit.

    I've tried your extension but it doesn't work - I don't get the "BlogThis" button.
    Using the other Blog extension, the issue I have there is that because it displays the homepage as posts and not comments, images etc do not show up.

    Also, I am trying to get either lightbox or thickbox to work, but even though I'm adamant I'm setting them up correctly, neither work - clicking an image doesn't do anything...
    Boo.

    This is really bugging me. I thought I'd just amalgamate the threads I wanted to show as blogs into one blog for the frontpage.
    However using the normal Blog extension, images and videos do not show up, unless you click through for a full post view.
    I just want it set up so the page shows each "post" in full. I can deal with only having one blog page for now - but if it won't support videos and images properly, that limits its usefulness.
    How did you get yours to work?

    :(

    Mike, according to the Harrow Linux users group, you must tie a good quality vanilla pod to your hard drive. Vanilla essence painted on will not do. :D

    If you're not getting the "BlogThis" buttons - you haven't given your user group permissions to Blog. That was put in the documentation :)

    But yes, I'm afraid multiple extensions won't work. Although I quite like the idea of having multiple blogs. I'll give this some thought.
