While upgrading my Mango blog installations this evening to the new 1.5 version I ran into a minor stumbling block. The first installation ran perfectly from the administrator, but the other instance would not show me the option to upgrade to the 1.5 version. After scratching my chin for a few minutes, I remembered that the default administrator role does not have "manage system" permissions by default. After adding enabling the missing permission I was able to install the updates, which I had a few to do.

New Mango Blog theme - Fresh Pick
Posted by John
I've wanted to setup a blog to store recipes to share with friends and family for a long time and recently found the motivation to get it done. I wanted a light color theme for this blog, so I ported the Fresh Pick theme from styleshout.com over to Mango. If anyone wants to use the theme with their Mango Blog it can be downloaded from my projects page or here.
Higher Ground Mango blog theme - version 1.3
Posted by John
I have updated my Mango blog theme to version 1.3 this evening after adding pod support. This adds the ability to easily change the content available in the right side column and the footer. If you would like to try out the theme or update an older version, head on over to my project page to download the new version.
Tracking downloads or other events with Google Analytics

Now that I placed my first Mango Blog theme available for download on my projects page I wanted to be able to track if or how often it is downloaded. I thought about a possible plug in after looking at Paul Klinkenberg viewcount plug in, but decided to keep things simple and use event tracking in Google analytics.
Moving your mango blog to a new location
Posted by John
Tonight I made a decision to move my blog to a different domain and because of that a new location on my server. Originally, I placed the blog under one of my photography related domain names with the plan to make posts about web development and photography all in one place. After a week or so passed, I decided that it was best to maintain completely separate blogs for content that is really unrelated. So, I made the change tonight which should have been really fast but instead took a little longer than it probably should have.
