This application allows a user to create and post Items to his pMachine weblogs. The application is quickly becoming obsolete as pMachine is superseded by Expression Engine. The application can manage multiple weblogs on a single pMachine installation. The fact that an Item belongs to another weblog is encoded in the structure of Item. One would expect that a separate List per weblog.
