ActivityThere is some feature called activity which is a magic number that tries to represent "activity" on a blog. This was something started in tikiwiki but not finished before the port to bitweaver. We should either remove it from the schema or figure out what the feature was meant to be.RankingsNot dissimilar to activity, rankings attempts to rate the activity of a blog. There are currently two rankings "latest posts" which is silly since we have a page for that and "most visited blog" There are numerous interesting queries which could be added that are missing like most blog posts, authors with most posts, authors with most reads, blog with most posts, posts with most reads, etc... These should be easy to add to rankings.phpCreate Blog ConfusingSome users find the create blog page confusing. We should add a help at the top that explains they are creating a blog not a post.Categories in blogsThere is some old crusty CATEGORIES stuff in blogs that should be removed.... and now for some wishful thinking ... API support for desktop editorsSupport for ATOM or similar API's so desktop editors like ecto or Qumana can be used.NEW FEATURES IN PROGRESSpublish_date and expire_date have been added in the editing interface and schema and tpls. TODO still is make the class check for those dates before displaying posts. | TODO: EXISTING BUGS
