Not very humble from my part, but I will say it anyway: This is the most 
elegant Coreblog in the world, Faroa:
http://www.goiena.net/blogak/faroa

Faroa, the lighthouse in Basque

The merit in its conception goes to Mikel Larreategi (the coder) and Maite 
Rementeria (the designer), both Corebloggers, co-workers of mine at Codesyntax:

- "Erral": http://www.eibar.org/blogak/erral

- "Etiam": http://www.eibar.org/blogak/maite

Those two follow a Movabe-Type-like template, based on the MT 2.6x 
template, and adapted for Coreblog based in a template published last year 
by Jeff Hicks. The new "Faroa":http://www.goiena.net/blogak/faroa follows a 
newer template, MT 3.0. Besides that, this new blog has interesting features:

- Editing and managing interfaces taken out of ZMI

- Date is editable. You can change date & time of posting, whenever you want.

- Image addition and management.

- Comment and trackback control interfaces integrated into the general 
entry management view

- A micro-CMS so the user can manage *fixed content,* upload files and

- Template changes only through the CSS, but the CSS can be directly 
accessed and edited by the user.

- All that is localised in Basque, using Localizer

I have planted an image with some of these features at my blog's entry.

There you have my the new '/edit' interface, you write that after the 
article-ID and the user can edit the content, view information about the 
feedback, upload and manage images...

This features of Faroa will be shared by a whole communuty of Coreblogs. 
New blogs will follow there, at Goiena.net. http://www.goiena.net

This site is a community-based local newssite. Goiena is a cooperative 
enterprise: it manages a magazine with a tabloid format (twice a week), two 
local radios, a local TV station, and several web projects, directly run, 
or for customers that hire Goiena to manage them. They have advertising and 
design spin-offs working in their network as well. They produce 
communication in Basque, but for customers, they are multilingual in their 
scope. They are based in the 10 or so towns around Mondragon, in the Basque 
province of Gipuzkoa.

Now Goiena is entering into community blogging: this is truly a multimedia 
local ortganization that can be an example for others working with minority 
languages. An example in the usage of software, as well: their web 
operations are based on Zope, nicely localised (we want to believe) by our 
company, CodeSyntax, http://www.codesyntax.com

The author of Faroa is also a noticeable Basque journalist, and someone I 
can be proud of knowing personally: Joxe Aranzabal. I wrote about him in 
English briefly at my site recently: http://www.eibar.org/blogak/luistxo/en/294
