BlogMe PHP  (The Story so far....)

Its been some time since the last release by Gamma Scripts (sounds big, eh?
Its a one man company :p). All the scripts released prior to this were
proprietary and made in ASP with MS-Access backend.

I decided that it was time I moved on to better things. By better things I do
not mean to under-rate ASP by any standards. But its quite obvious that
ASP has no future (although ASP.NET might have one).

Exams were done and I needed something to keep me occupied. And I had
one month to go before I started my MBA.
So I finally decided to embark onto the much procrastinated PHP-MySQL.

Heres a piece of advice for all those who want to learn PHP-MySQL. The
best package to install on ur computer is SWAMP. Its available here:
http://swamp.sourceforge.net

I was contemplating on making this script also a proprietary one, but then
it would defy the whole point of OpenSource. So I finally went ahead and
made it free.

So three days of furious coding from 9 am to 9 pm and shit loads of testing
finally led to the creation of this script which I believe is quite complete.
But then what do I know :o)

So heres to the addition of one more new script to the Gamma Scripts
arsenal...!!
