We like Kareha here. What have you noticed in kareha? Have you made any hacks or otherwise made use of it?
I saw that Storlek used Kareha as a base for his blog in the past. This seems sane to me, and not all too hard to do. When you think about it, Kareha is (in essence) a community blog.
Entering "fusianasan" in the name field or "2ch-sep93" in config.pl's date field do two quite obvious things.
pseud0ch.css, interestingly enough, does not support italics by default.
