Crowbot Goes Multi-user

Lone Crowbot Goes Multi-user! The word Lone Blogger is used for someone who uses his or her own blogging tools (courtesy: Blogicon). I've been a Lone Blogger, using my own tools, and as Yourish says, "Being a Lone Blogger isn't bad at all". Till someone else needs to use your tool, that is. My mother started a blog recently, and I evaluated Blogger and Radio Userland to make her blog. We needed the advantages of both the tools which seem to be mutually exclusive -- edit from anywhere as well as content managed blogs. After struggling for a week to join our CMS with either of the tools (which I am told, is not possible, because the XML/RPC interface supported by both systems (Blogger API, Radio API) is at a very high level, and not at a granularity required for sophisticated publishing), I decided to make my tool multi-user capable. It was a painful undertaking, because at every decision making process, I had to distinguish between my blog and her's, my shortcuts and her shortcuts, my templates and her templates. The BLOGSearch had to be modified also. But I am getting there. See a test blog. The obvious next question now is, how can I make this tool available to public? (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!)
