FYI and FWIW, my research indicates that WordPress is probably the best of the free blog tools out there. I think it supports everything you want. While RSS isn't built in there are a lot of easy-to-install third party tools that handle it quite elegantly.

Your page works fine but Manila cost $1000! Why not use plog or some other
blogging tool that is not so expensive? I am looking for a very simple
blogging tool, easy to post too with photos, easy to set-up RSS and runs on
Linux.

What is your advice?

Andre....

A blog from you on technical things would be quite interesting and
useful, I'm sure.

Curious why you're using Manila when you have your own blogging
tools. I mean, I like Manila and all, but does it offer some big
advantages that you couldn't get into your own blog tools?

I'd definitely read it.

Dan,

I guess I'll create  a "why manila" article :-D

The point is, my blogging tools are not on par with manila features
yet. Manila is very powerfull and it's built in editor and image
upload features enable me to work my page from anywhere. I am working
on a little manila-like tool but it is not ready yet, so for now, I
stick with manila. All my blogging tools are just me trying to clone
frontier/manila for I think it's the most powerfull and elegant
solution available. Since the frontier kernel was opened, my old
frontier interest was reborn and I reinstalled manila trial here, it
will run for two months. I hope that in the end of this period or my
blogging tools will be as powerfull as I want them to be, or that
I'll have the money to buy a frontier copy for myself!

The main thing was: should I wait for my tools to mature as much as I
thought they need before creating my page or should I start with the
tool I like best and then go improving my apps using my daily
experience with manila as a guidance... I decided to start now! :-D

Cheers
andre

Hi There folks,

I am testing my new page and I'd like feedback from you guys since
the page is most focused on writting interesting things for rev
coders. The page is currently hosted at my house so the system is
slow (slow connection, slow computer) so please be patient, I just
need to see if there's a place for that kind of page. The content
is small now, but I'll be adding content daily. The url is http://
www.andregarzia.com that is not the final url but a temporary one,
before I move my www.soapdog.org domain. The url will redirect to
my home machine on a non standard port, so that you guys end up on
http://home.soapdog.org:8080/

cheers
andre
