Improvements to the KV-WebME blog plugin

After hours of work yesterday with Patrick McCabe of Corranny Media, we were able to iron out user-based blogging.

This means that it is now possible for an admin of a website to assign a "group" which is capable of creating blogs. An example: let's say you have a list of users that you want to provide news items. To let them do this, all you need to do is edit their user accounts so they are a member of the group "blog" (or whatever - this is flexible), and then edit the blog page so that it lets members of the group "blog" create blogs.

Users can only edit their own blog entries.

Other improvements:

When blog posts are created, they are initially "unpublished", meaning that they are not yet visible on the website. Until you click "Save and Publish", the blog entry remains private to you.

Blog entries can now be edited/created from the front-end of the website. I'm actually writing this from within the very same page of KV Sites that you are reading. No need to log into the admin area of the site.
