Why use weblog?

Randeep Walia	Monday 04 October 2004 1:54:55 pm I was wondering if it's really worth it to use weblog when article seems to have better features, particularly, you can separate an intro from the body so you can have a more compact line view. Is there some way to tell EZ to just display the opening paragraph of a weblog or should I just use article instead? What are the advantages to using weblog? __________________________________ Randeep Walia is http://www.rundeep.net powered by EZ Publish

If you need to have the intro separated from the body, then you can use the article class as it is, or create a new weblog class with intro and body attributes as in the article class. The point here is to adapt the system to your needs. Most blogs are very simple, but if you need more features you extend the class (or use the article class).
