You're welcome :) And congratulations, I think it looks great! I  
think it's one of the best sites I've seen so far.

What is the aim of the site? Is it some sort of "generic" free  
blogging site?

About the changes you made, is there anything you think it's worth  
trying to add to the development version? What features did you add?  
How did you get those different feeds categorized as "culture",  
"technica", etc? Did you implement some sort of global blog categories?

One more thing about the changes: is there anything we could do to  
make the customization work easier in the future? I'd like to hear  
your opinions on this :)

Have you tried Articles::getBlogArticles() with a $amount parameter  
of '1' (it's the 3rd parameter)? More information here: http:// 
www.plogworld.net/api/d3/db7/classArticles.html#a8 but that should  
definitely return you the latest article of a blog given a blog id.
