1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

- timtab is mainly a framework extension which connects other extensions, namely tt_news, ve_guestbook (modern guestbook) and realurl to use TYPO3 for blogging. You will use tt_news to post, your visitors can comment these posts with ve_guestbook and realurl delivers nice URLs. There will be 'optimal' default configurationsf or these extensions so you can start blogging (nearly) right away. Further this extension ships with the beautiful wordpress default template 'Kubrick'. With this template it is possible to set up a blog within a few clicks.
