History

The LifeType project began in February 2003 when Oscar Renalias took a couple of scripts for his personal website. Although at that time the concept of weblogs did not know, the first results of the project reminded of this concept already. A few weeks later beat Francesc, another founding member, the development of a Weblog system with support for multiple blogs and multiple users as a better idea before. So pLog was 0.1 on 2 September 2003 with virtually all basic functions, which still constitute the core published. These include the template with Smarty support, multi-language capability and plug-in functionality.
