I have a module for vblogetin that was written for 3.0 RC2 apparently, and will not upload to 3.0 Gold. I keep getting the "The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file." Is there any way to fix this module so it will work? I can't get support over there since the developers are AWOL. I can't see anything out of the ordinary, but without any module tutorials to work from on here, I'm not sure where to start. Here's the code (plus it's attached in a zip):

If there's actually a place describing how to create/fix modules, please point me there, since I've done multiple searches and come up empty.
