License
Currently it's using a Creative Commons non commercial no distributions of modifcations license, it will most likely change to another one in the future, possibly GNU GPL v3.
About installtion
When installing, make sure to use the same database as your MyBB installation
When it asks you for your path to the MyBB instaltion, do it relative to where "./config.php" is located, Ex:
(BTW, I use CPanel, so it I do it like this)
Your MyBB installation is here:
/public_html/forums/
And MyBB:Blog is here:
/public_html/blog/
You're path would be:
../forums/
REMEMBER THAT TRAILING SLASH! (this goes for URLs as well)
When entering in a number value, no commas, no decimals, like when it asks for the Max Comment Length, you need to put in something like this:
5000
Not this:
5,000
Custimizing
To add options the navigation bar, open the file "./templates/nav-bar.tpl" in a text editor and add the HTML links, feel free to add images as well.
To change the banner image it shows, look for "./image/banner.png" and replace it with the desired image.
Then in a Text editor, op the file "./templates/table-start.tpl" (It's called Table Start).
And modify the width and height values.
For editing the CSS, you can just edit the default CSS file, but I suggest created a new directory in the "./themes" folder, and then putting the CSS in there, then head into "./templates/header.tpl" and change the path in the "<link>" tag.
The file "./config.tpl" holds the settings, if you ever need to change any, without reinstalling MyBB:Blog, open that file in a text editor and change what you need.
Comments, Questions?
Feel Free to ask, I also need as much input on this as i can get.
Etc.
If used, please attribute, it's not required, but I prefer if you did.
Also, credits:

Belive it or not, the actual application (the Beta), took only 18 hours to create (that is without the ATOM syndication and "Delete Entry" option in the ACP and some RSS fixes for the foreign characters. This was because It was originally meant for just a new site I was creating, but I decided I should share it with the MyBB community, which took me almost 2 weeks of modifying the source code to make it somewhat easily customizable.)
