I’ve used blogger for a few years now to keep my online journal. When I first started learning php, I rolled a really simple CMS that I might eventually expand into something good. But moveabletype comes out today, and I’m definately going to download a copy and give it a try (Steve is a beta tester and he loves it). I don’t know if I’ll use it for my main journal or not, but I’ll definately give it a try.
I had a brainstorm yesterday about the bassbook and how I can make it really vital. It involves using tons of php includes to turn it into a dynamic document which will allow readers to post comments on each sub-section of the book. But, by the same system of includes, it will still be possible to print out a printer-friendly version with or without the user-contributed comments. Basically, I want to recreate it in the mold of the function reference at php.net. It’s going to be cool. I think I’ll try to code it up over the holiday break.
