Finally! It feels good to have VSNS Lemon 4 out, but I still have lots of work left to do.
I‘ve turned my scripts repository into a wiki (DokuWiki, specifically) in order to better handle documentation and modification. Yes, that’s right: documentation. It is by no means complete, but it is there, and I will continue working on it as much as possible. Since it’s a wiki, you can contribute too, if you register.
What does “RC 1” mean? Not much. In my mind it designates this release as more stable than a beta, but not the final release yet. That will come after I upgrade this blog and had a chance to use it for a few days and iron out any more bugs in it. I haven’t upgraded this blog yet because I’m waiting to finish my full site redesign before I upgrade.

Great job!
I’ll start the beat testing right now.
Dang, you had to go all open source even on the zip file.
Hi, I really like this blog system. However, I don’t like the default skin, and I have no time to code one. I would like one like the one in this site: Simple, no yellow, and Verdana as the font in the posts.
I don’t know if you offer/will offer skins, but well, I will have to try and code one once I have time.
Congratulations 
I have no intention of offering additional skins. I am not gifted in the design area, that’s why the default skin sucks. It exists purely so that you don’t get an unstyled page when you install VSNS Lemon. A design is part of a blog’s identity; I expect that anyone who has a blog will redesign for themselves.
If someone wants to create more themes and offer them to the public I have no problem with that. Although I’ll probably randomly change the CSS between versions. 
So there.
However, the CSS isn’t that bad, so when you do find time, it shouldn’t take too long. I will eventually write a page for the docuwiki that explains it part of the style sheet. Feel free to steal from this design (it is changing for my redesign anyway), although keep in mind that this blog hasn’t been upgraded yet, so the structure and class names are obsolete.
I‘m glad that like VSNS Lemon though. And your comment means a lot, because if it’s the skin that’s your major complaint, then obviously I’m doing something right as a coder! And that’s good to know.
Well, you were right. The CSS was really easy to edit, and in some minutes I made a replica of the Cubrick skin I use at Wordpress.
I am having some problems with the rss_parser file, but I‘m pretty sure it’s because of my sucky host, so I won’t complain. Excellent software

Sorry to put another comment, but it seems like it’s not my host. I tried the older version (the one this blog uses) and it didn’t give me the error, but 4 (Beta) gives me this error at the top of my ACP:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /www/110mb.com/d/y/e/g/o/v/_/_/dyegov/htdocs/vsns_lemon/rss_parser.php on line 121

Well, maybe you can tell me how to fix it
