Lilblogs is a CakePHP blog plugin. It is a heavily modified version of http://cakeforge.org/projects/snogs/ by Jonathan Snook.
Version 1.2
This version adds an "admin" role for authors (there's also a new field in Authors which define admin status). Admins can add blogs, edit them, add authors, link authors with blogs... A few bugs have been squashed. And finally, this version contains first line that suggest upcoming plugins. Plugins for (LilBlogs) plugin, you might ask? Yes! Stay tuned.
Version 1.1
There are a few major enhancements in this version. The plugin got renamed from lilblogs to lil_blogs. A few new configuration directives have been implemented.
