I also have a lot of trouble with this module in PS 1.7.7
The free module is very poor, thumbnails do not update, and Meta descriptions and Meta atitle cannot be read out by google. So I decided the buy Smartblog 5.0. Took me several days to download the module because it was not availabble. Support ( From India??) is very poor.
No I have the module, but cannot get it upgraded in the way that my old blogs and blog URL are still there. Upgrade is nog possible. If I remove the old module, and install the new version, then all my blogs are gone.
Does anyone know how to solve? Or can anyone recommend better Blog Module?
