Blog Software

Well I finished the integration of phpBB3 forum with my blog running Drupal 6. I added this forum to explore more back and forth type discussion with regards to the items I post here and to allow others the opportunity to start their own discussion threads.  The forum does not require you to register in order to post, but does ask for the basic information, like name, email, and there is a anti-spam feature.

If your a registered user of Bob's Daily Blog, you will be automatically logged into Bob's Forum when you log-in to my blog.  In addition, if you have a signature block and avatar, they will synchronize between the two locations.  The most recent topics posted will be listed in the middle column under the Bob's Forum Topics so you can see what's going on there.  I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think. 

Ok, I've added a few topic areas to get this started.  I know it's not much yet, but the forum has some great capabilities and right now it's open to guests who would like to start a discussion. So try out  Bob's Forum and let me know what you think.

I've dropped the SMF forum and added phpBB forum to discuss those hot topic issues.  This is only a test for now and is open to anyone who wants to post a topic they feel is important. 

The forum capability here will remain to discuss issues I post on my blog, but Bob's Forum  is available to anyone to strike up a discussion on those hot topics.   I'll add a few topics over the next few days to see how it does.  In addition, I have it set up so guests can comment and add topics without registering.  Let me know what you think.
