history

The LifeType project started in February 2003 when Oscar Renalias needed some scripts for his personal website. Although he did not yet know the concept of weblogs at the time, the first results of the project were already reminiscent of this concept. A few weeks later, another founding member, Francesc, suggested developing a weblog system with support for multiple blogs and multiple users as a better idea. So pLog 0.1 was published on September 2nd, 2003 with practically all basic functions, which still make up the core today. These include template support with Smarty, multilingual capabilities and plug-in functionality.
