Hello Andu and y'all, > Weblogs are not supposed to be edited in the way > wikis are because... they are not wikis.
Good point, Andu. The gist of what I was getting at, though, is that the reason why David might prefer blogs over wikis is that wikis lack the automation of blogs. > I don't get it, you want to read the wiki in a > browser but to edit it in a different application, > why use wiki. I am not sure what is so perplexing about this. I want to browse the wiki, plus make some changes to it on the fly, just like any other user. But, as an administrator of the wiki, who maintains and improves the orderliness of the wiki's content, I often need to make many changes at once and, in these cases, the web browser GUI of the wiki is NOT efficient. Changing the footer, for example. > The thing with the footer is just a matter of > design, you can have the script insert a footer > in all pages as they are served. You can do this with a *wiki* ? If so, then I have chosen a bad example. Suppose someone referred to many times in the wiki suddenly changes his e-mail address? Or what if a contributor changes the domain-name of his server and, consequently, would break the URLs of their contributions (pan downloads). And so on. > I'm not a friend of html but I recently > discovered the potential of css... The idea is great. The implementation sucks. Or, less brutally, CSS has not been adopted integrally by any of the current web browsers and, therefore, lacks stability when deploying to many browsers on many platforms. > (kind of late, I know)...
