phpBB Blog is a blog tool for phpBB. The basic idea is this: you have a phpBB installation already running, youve set up a forum for your posts, and now you want to have a blog-ish page and RSS file to show off each post.

There are 3 major ways to use this product. Youll have to decide which one you want to pursue. First, there is the default setup, which uses the provided index.php file to display the blog. Second, there is the option to bypass the provided index.php file, and simply embed the blog display into your pre-existing home page. The third option is to embed a mini-blog into your pre-existing home page. All this displays is the title of recent posts.

Features include an RSS 2.0 feed for syndication; full support for BBCode, smileys, and avatars; permalinks with first/next/previous navigation; trackbacks; 7 different stylesheets to choose from; and as many Geo-URL settings as possible (so you can get listed in all those blog indexes that categorize you by location and/or language). Oh, and it integrates with phpBB Podcast, too.

MT blogmail is a small Python script that allows you to send an email (including an attached image) and have it posted to your MovableType blog.
You need something like Procmail to filter your mail and send messages from a
specific address to the blogmail.py script.
blogmail.py can now also poll a POP3 server and process any messages on the server
posting them to your blog for you.
Download blogmail.tar.bz2, unzip and save it somewhere convenient as blogmail.py,
make sure it is executable. (you might need to right-click and save as)
./blogmail.py --help
for all the usage information. You can also edit the script to set defaults.
The body of a message should be in the following format:
XBlogTitle: foo
XBlogPublish: [0|1]
XBlogUsername: mike
XBlogPassword: secret
XBlogid: 1
XBlogUri: http://blog.host.com/mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
XBlogAllowComments: [0|1]
XBlogConvertBreaks: [0|1]
XBlogKeywords: foo,baz,bar
XBlogCategories: flob,grob,blurck
All text between is posted as the body of the blog, the XBlog* fields
are parsed and sent via XML-RPC.
XBlogTitle is the only mandatory XBlog* field.
If the message is a multi-part mime message then the first text/plain section is considered to be the body of the post. the first image/* section will be taken
as an image to send to the server. Images are saved in:
images/ddMmmYY/HHMMSS_
and an image tag is added to the beginning of the post (style
tags with a float and you can have the body of the post beside and wrapping
around the bottom of the image).
Enhancements:
- o added command line options for pop3/file usage
