Turning Jab from blog engine into a simple CMS with static pages.

Where I realize that single flat directory of files isn't going to cut it.

Adding image upload and embed to Jab's article editor. Photos, screenshots, diagrams... make your posts pretty.

One week after starting on Jab, the first live site is up and running (just).

Jab's theme support is very simple, but a reference is still required if anyone is to make any sense of it.

A blog isn't really a blog without a feed, so Jab of course needs feed support.

Inspired by tumblr's theming support, Jab gets it's own flavour of something similar.

Jab can now support serving up different sites for different domains. Implementing this was easier than I thought.

Finally I'm starting to get to the core of any blog/cms system - the article/content editing.

Some nice primary navigation buttons for Jab's management console.

Jab now supports editing of uploaded text files. Very simple, but easier than uploading a new file every time it needs to be changed.

Jab now has a very simple file manager. This will be used to manage resource assets like theme images, style sheets, javascript files etc...

Jab gets some style, a logo and some site and user management tools.
