Q. I can only have a maximum of 10 links shown on the side. Is it possible to have more?
A. Yes, http://www.bblog.com/viewtopic.php?t=1769
Q. I get lots of spam. / Trackbacks don't abide by moderating rules, like the comments do.
A. Install a hack, which fixes this, until the new version will be released: bBlog Comments backport (http://bblog.com/repo/comment.php?dlid=3)
Q. Oops! X or Y isn't working propperly in the latest snapshot / SVN.. Can i ask for support on that?
A. No. Not unless we're in a reeeeally good mood, or you're helping us with a problem / bug. The SVN code is almost always unstable.. It isn't even a beta yet.
The versions we recommend to use are
- The latest stable release
- A beta version - only if you want to help in testing.
Q. I'm trying to install bBlog, but i keep getting a loop in the installer and it goes back to the beginning.
A. We're working on this issue. We've narrowed it down to a problem with session management in PHP. Unfortunately two of the users didn't reply with a few results, and the third one reinstalled Apache + Mysql + PHP and it worked for him.

Q. I would like to install a new template or edit an existing one; where are they located?
A. The templates directory is located at: [ /path/to/your/blog/bblog/templates/ ] In order to install a new template, simply place the whole folder this directory, and choose it from the Options screen on your bBlog admin page.
Q. Can I make my archives page to sort the output year-wise?
A. Yes, you can: [1] (http://bblog.com/viewtopic.php?t=1846).
Q. I just installed bBlog, but all i see is the login page and no blog! What's going on ?
A. This problems occurs when the user misses the files that are outside (or beside) the bblog/ folder in the archive. If you look at the Installation section (http://www.bblog.com/wiki/index.php/Installation#Preparing_for_Upload) in the wiki, you would see that the file heirarchy of bBlog consists of the bblog/ folder, and many files outside that folder too.
