The wacsblogtodb function writes text for a
blog entry into the notes table with the correct formating and splits
it if necessary. At present it will accept blog entries up to 4095 bytes
in length and these can include all of the standard WACS configuration
substitutions (#SITEURL# et al) as handled by
conf_dosubs to allow for icons and set links to be
included quickly and efficiently.
It is provided with the ability to specify the destination table and key in case you wish to use a different database other than notes for the blog. The fields and the structures (with the exception of the primary key) have to be the same, but of course the permissions can be different on that table.
