Still in deep. Things are going well though (or at least they seem to be, given my lack of any formal testing ability.) Here's a few links I came across today while looking for other things:
Rebecca Blood (of Rebecca's Pocket) has a book coming out titled The Weblog Handbook.
Scoble reports on a brief demonstration of blogger pro ($5/month.)
Techno-weenie has posted an RFC on creating a "common XML-RPC API for weblogs." I'd support something like this but I wonder how useful it will be. The best reason to have so many different blogging (or knowledge management, or whatever) products is that they all work a little bit differently. I might try to support a common API, but not if I had to give up some of the stranger features I have built into my system. And if the structures of different systems are too different then the XML-RPC is going to be a mess. Or, in other words, the problem is here:option (struct) -- extra weblog-specific options passed in the format parameter_name => parameter_value. Ideally, the options should be totally optional and the XML-RPC methods should function correctly without them. Ideally maybe, but at least in my case, the option struct would have to contain lots of crucial information (given the rest of the structure presented.)
you must have seen the r blood post on my page yesterday since i know you click through on all my links.
