Rafe’s looking at weblog management systems.
He started with WordPress, and was asked to try out Moveable Type too. Now he’s set up Moveable Type, WordPress, S9Y, and Textpattern.
I’m interested in his opinion because I’m weighing moving this weblog to one of those systems, or moving everything to Live Journal where I have a permanent account.
I’m excited by a connection between blogging and feminism that my friend Badgerbag made during the last panel I was on at WisCon 29, Can We be Equal on the Web.
The conversation had turned to writer’s blogs and exposing the ‘cutting room floor’ in the process. My friend badgerbag told us about how documenting your [...]
Deirdre Saoirse Moen, who’s running programming at BayCon, took up the Convention tagging idea and asks that you tag your convention related posts with:
<a href=”http://technorati.com/tag/baycon” rel=”tag”>BayCon</a>
By extension, the Disclave and FanimeWest bloggers can follow our lead and tag their posts.
If you’re writing about WisCon in your weblogs and public LiveJournals, add a ‘tag’ to your posts so we can round them up.
The syntax is easy. Add this to your WisCon related posts:
<a href=”http://technorati.com/tag/wiscon” rel=”tag”>wiscon</a>
Your post will be picked up on Technorati, which will automatically generate one big con report on one page.
If you tag [...]
The first version of this weblog ran on Frontier with a script that would crank out a static HTML page when I updated the site. Happy birthday, Dave, from a fellow Badger.
What do you know, The Hitchhiker’s Guide has an entry on weblogs. I guess it wouldn’t be the best selling book in known space if it wasn’t up to date.
By the way, according to The Guide, you’ll need to increase the size of your ego if you’re going to write a weblog. I don’t know [...]

Kottke’s orginal Microformat post from November of 2003
Micah Dubinko defines Microformats
Jon Udell tries the PubSub Microformat plugin for WordPress
PubSub’s Structured blogging initiative
Mark Bernstein’s reaction to the PubSub Microformat
I agree with Mark that the PubSub strategy’s hacky as all get out. On the other hand, it does provide templates instead of depending on the author to [...]

Would be interesting with fetching templates via XMLHTTPRequest instead of stashing them in textareas.
Tim Bray thinks Technorati ought to charge
They’d have to figure out how to fight tag spammers.

I don’t know classical music: I can’t tell Hayden from Mozart. The extent of my symphonic music collection is Glass and John Adams.
Fortunately, the Mercury News ran an article on local classical music bloggers today. My friend Lisa Hirch’s blog was mentioned, but they missed my friend David Bratman’s Live Journal, where he reviews local [...]

I met Ben Kite when I worked at OnRadio back in 1999. He was our systems admin, and a gangly, hyperactive polymath. Rumor had it he was asked to leave rabbinical school for arguing too much with his teachers.
Now Ben lives in China, where he’s teaching English in a school outside of Shanghai, and he’s [...]

Don’t mind me, I’m checking out Technorati’s new ‘tags’ system.

Dan Lyke of Flutterby writes about the item on Coverville:
http://www.coverville.com/index.xml works for me for enclosures with
bashpodder.
Dan mentioned the script last November.
It’ll collect the audio links from the URLs you configure it with. From there you can use a bit of AppleScript glue to drop the files into iTunes.

If you haven’t read Fafblog, go, then come back later. The post will still be around.
So Giblets and Fafnir talk estacology, and how they plan to transcend this whole spacetime thing.
Funny they mention that, as last week, Jeff Bone pointed out a physics paper about closed-space-like causality curves. The authors call these things ‘jinni’, but [...]
