Hi Piers and Chris.

Thank you for your advice. I just downloaded simplelog and tried a bit. It's
very interesting to see the internal of three different Rails based blog
systems , especially because my first sample rails app was DHH's "Creating a
weblog in 15 minutes"(http://www.rubyonrails.org/screencasts). :-)

This also gave me an idea about the project I am trying to do.
Since Paolo gave us a talk about Tabnav, I was obsessed about the idea of
creating a plugin and I even put my target on 43 things (
http://www.43things.com/things/view/695951). I've done most of
reading/researching and ready to create one, but still no clue what kind of
plugin I should write. Creating a plugin on these open source blog system
looks good start.

Cheers.

Makoto
