Nice intro.
I am very familiar with php.activerecord...and one of the first things I did when CI2 came out was hook it up. I've since gone back to native CI "ActiveRecord".
Question: I currently run CI validation in my models...would it be possible to hook the phpar validation into the CI validation class?
Slightly off-topic: the requirement to use Facebook to comment on your blog is a major turn off.
Even more off topic: I saw the post on using SwiftMailer on your blog. I use Swiftmailer on another non-CI project, but the native CI lib in CI projects. Whats the advantage of use Swiftmailer in CI?
