What would you call something that was sort of like a blog, except the order of posts was author defined instead of being reverse chronological?
This comes up because I've made a little plug-in for my new software that lets you keep a FAQ. Each entry is a question and an answer, and the order of entries on the page can be rearranged by the author. But now it strikes me that a FAQ is just one particular use of this plug-in since I think there are probably lots of situations where this would be useful (in the sense that it's like a re-orderable blog where each entry has a title and the body of the post instead of the FAQ specific 'question' and 'answer' nomenclature.)
But what would the whole thing be called? Not terribly important, but I can't think of what to name it.
Sounds like it has commercial possibilities. A client wants a blog vibe for her site but as she is selling time sensitive products (organic starter vegetable plants) she will want to manage what is where when.
Post Order Priority (POP)
Perfect, because I'm about to launch. Of course I've been about to launch for the past year. Still, today I kicked ass and I'm actually thinking I might be there. In a beta sort of way.
I guess I'll call it a 'document'. I'm not looking for snazzy, just straightforward and intuitive.
