INTRODUCTION
------------
 A web diary or blog exclusively for personal use. Written in 
 PHP using a MySQL database backend. It supports login, 
 date/time stamps, themes through CSS, multilanguage and a 
 Blogger-like API to post entries remotely.

REQUIREMENTS
------------

 - Apache 1.3.x or better
 - PHP v4.x or better
 - MySQL v3.23.x or better

It maybe works under other setups, but this is what I use.

It has been tested with the following browsers: Mozilla 1.x, Firefox/Firebird,
Opera 7.x, IE 6.x and Lynx.


INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
------------------------------

1. Just decompress the source (which you should have done by now,
   if you're reading this), into a folder that the webserver can
   reach.

2. Create a database for MyDay

   $ mysqladmin -u root -p CREATE DATABASE myday

   You can use other interface for the creation like PhpMyAdmin or
   use an existent database.

3. Import the database schema into MySQL

   $ mysql -u root -p myday < myday.sql

   If desired, you may also add a new MySQL account for MyDay to
   use when accessing the database.

4. Modify 'config.php' to the values you want. Every variable is
   commented to help the configuration.


ENCRYPTION
----------

To encrypt posts your PHP installation must have the "mcrypt" module.
Remember that if you disable encryption you will not be able to read
previous encrypted posts and if you enable encryption you will not be
able to read your previous unencrypted posts.
The same occurs if you change the encryption algorithm or mode.
NOTE: Encryption requires much more space in the DB. Don't use it if you
are very limited.


XML-RPC
-------

You can access the Blogger-compatible interface pointing to the
blogger.php file in your blogger client. It has been tested with
gnome-blog (http://www.gnome.org/~seth/gnome-blog) and 
BloGTK (http://blogtk.sf.net).
The following functions are implemented: blogger.newpost,
blogger.editpost, blogger.deletepost, blogger.getusersblogs,
blogger.getuserinfo, blogger.getpost and blogger.getrecentposts.
							

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------

This code is in the very early stages of development, and a LOT of
things could go wrong. Please post your problems in the forums or
