There is this extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:My_blog But it wasn't exactly what I expected. I didn't like the "one user <-> one blog" relationship. I wanted blogs to have their own names, and to be part of the wiki as a whole, following the wiki philosophy, like "many users <-> many blogs". So, I started this extension: http://svn.juliano.info/svn/mediawiki/extensions/Blog/trunk/ There are a lot of features missing for a blog, I never had time to finish it, but it does what I expected: - Blogs are part of the wiki, not user's pages. - It follows wiki philosophy as far as possible: any user can post to any blog, as long as it has edit permissions to the "Blog:" namespace; if a user makes an inappropriate post, you just move or delete that post's page; many users may collaborate to a single blog post. - Blogs (and posts) in different languages are linked through language interwiki links. - Wiki categories are user for blog categories also. If you want to see it in action: http://juliano.info/en/Blog:Memory_Leak Among the features that are currently missing for a basic blog is the generation of RSS feeds (other than the builtin MediaWiki RSS feeds, that are not exactly what is expected for a blog). Feel free to use it if you want. It is open source, so if you (or anyone here) want to contribute the missing features, it will be highly appreciated. If there is enough interest in it, I may ask MediaWiki devs to host it in MW's Subversion repository. Best regards, Juliano. -- Juliano F.

Jim, Ok. Thanks. I like your extension ArticleComments for its simplicity. I have a question related to it. How can I put talks page (already made comments) on the same page, under the article which is commented ? Similary as you've done at http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=ArticleComments_Test_Page Best, Maciej Jim R. Wilson pisze: > My blog[1] is based on MediaWiki.
