I have been using dasblog for a few months now. While I have fixed some of the minor issues, there are some issues that are pending.

 

One of the major issues with dasblog is the time settings. Besides the time [of posting a blog/comment] not being displayed correctly, there is yet another issue. We cannot make a blog post post-midnight for a couple of hours. After Pandu and Rosh had some bad experiences with this in the past, we three deliberately avoid making posts between 12.00 – 5.00 am in the nights.

 

A big thing missing in dasblog is an archive view, there is no real way of viewing your past blog entries based on some archive view. I saw somebody’s implementation of archive view in dasblog, not exactly what I would have liked to have but atleast there is an archive. I should check that out. Anybody else has an archive implementation for dasblog?

 

Some of the other minor issues:

 

  1. No delete comment feature
  2. Post a comment and you are brought to the main page [I have fixed this]
  3. No obfuscation of your own email-id [I have fixed this. You can now add the text you wish to replace @ and . with in the e-id in the config file. Neat?]
  4. Time display error
  5. Sometimes, when you edit an old entry, it makes a new entry. I am not able to re-produce this though. Happens once in a while.
  6. Delete category
  7. Rename category

 

This blog entry doesn’t talk about the good things in dasblog [Yeah, you could read it as whatever is not listed here works good in dasblog ;)]
