Patrick, I experimented with using Woolgather as a personal journal last month. It's workable, but I had to make the following changes: 1. The display isn't very fancy. I wanted to have date delimiters show up on the web page, as well as time stamps for each entry. I ended up referencing a CSS file in my MoveableType installation, then modifying my pages.ptl to add the necessary headers andstatements. (I also had to add some attributes to the persistent Woolgather classes to store some of the info I needed.) 2. The Blogger API had several problems. Because the web server was running on my personal machine I decided to cheat and use my quick and dirty wxPython based Blogger API client to talk directly with ZODB. (I used the Woolgather scripts as a basis for my work.) The biggest problem I ran into was the lack of any search-ability. That probably isn't very important for a blog, but I needed it to look up previous entries. (i.e. "Find all entries where the phrase 'Blogger API' appears.") Looking up the entries for a particular date is also something that most blogs support, but which Woolgather doesn't. I probably would have written some search tools, but I have been distracted by an itch more important than my own blogging tool. Mike Smith On Thu, May 23, 2002 at 11:56:33AM -0500, Patrick K.
