Weblogging software

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Okay, so when I make my switch, I want to use the most convenient software for me… with the most features.
So far, I’ve heard of these blog software:

  • LiveJournal
  • Blogger
  • MovableType
  • PMachines
  • WordPress
  • GreyMatter

Those are strictly blogging, some other content management systems also have support for blogs… and there’s way too many of them so I’m not going to bother (however, if I am, I will probably use Drupal, which is so far my most fav system)

I know, last XC meet

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

I know… if I don’t finish (at least) my template change for this site by tonight, I’ll do it over the weekend… as for the switch to WordPress… I’ll do that too…

Today was my last cross country meet for the year! I did pretty bad, lost at least 50 seconds… :-( I hadn’t practiced in a week and a half, that’s my excuse… I know I could have done better, and I regret it… But can’t do anything about it now. My PR (Personal Record) for a 5km is i think 20:39 or 19:39, can’t remember which, today I got 21:10…. yeah, I sucked, it was the Portland Inter League, or something like that, the district meet… Ah, if I’m here next year, I’ll do better.

Another thing that JUST happened today, my personalized Google homepage was cleared, all my previous like, customization’s were cleared! JUST LIKE THAT! How? I have no idea… but this compels me to learn some php and make a local php file to make as my homepage that collects RSS feeds and has a google search in it. That way I won’t have to deal with that again.

Problems with Blogger

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Okay, I’m starting to get fed up… My original idea was to just keep using blogger and flickr even if I have my own domain name and server… Why? That way if in the event that I stop paying for my domain name and server, my photos and blogs will still be up.

Yesterday my problem was with the template images, parts don’t show up, etc. Today it won’t even let me post to Philotic Web from Flickr! How absurd is that… When I tried posting from within the blogger site, it asked for a word verification! Later I found out that the reason my Philtoc Web blog had word verification on it was because it was marked as a potential spam blog!

I think I may start to move all of my content to my own server (for the blogs, I’ll keep flickr, it’s nice to use). I’ve played with WordPress a lot recently, and I’m very comfortable using that, especially after all this. It wouldn’t even be that hard, since I would just re-create my template and transfer my stuff to my server.

I shall contemplate this…
