tldr version first: Is there blog software that can: - present sub-blogs using tags to filter view (not just a search results page) - virtual hosts instead of just urls to filter by tag - allow unique themes to be applied to each filtered view
So I'd like to start a blog of sorts, but I have some unique needs/wishes. I want to be able to have just one blog but have different sub-blogs that are automatically created according to tags and accessed by urls that specify the tag desired. I know this functionality basically exists in blogger.com and any blog software really. But I want it to go a bit farther. Suppose I post a number of articles that are tagged with different subjects like RC (aircraft), Python, Family, Farm, etc. Besides the main aggregate view that one would normally see by going to my blog's main page, I'd like to see for example a mini blog with only posts having to do with computers, or only with RC, or only with farming. When viewing the sub-blogs I'd like the view to be the same as if one viewed the main blog, but maybe with a sub-blog-specific theme (Background image, etc). Of course posts can appear simultaneously in different sub-blogs just because they would be tagged with multiple labels perhaps. Something else I'd like to do is be able to assign virtual hosts to the sub-blogs. For example, going to michael.torriefarms.com would show a farm-specific blog but with just the applicable posts from my blog (it's just a view really) with a unique theme. This would cater to a particular audience of course. My main blog might live at michael.torriefamily.org and show everything. Or http://blog_url/tag to show tagged posts, but also apply a particular theme, like some cool RC airplane design for RC-tagged posts. The theme thing is probably less important than the virtual host thing. thanks, Michael /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
