Chris,
Thanks. One question, concern I might have with that would be just
spelling
something differently, but that shouldn't be too big of an issue.
To my next question, what would be the best way to structure
comments for a
blog post, where they have their own author, timestamp, and entry?
Again,
this is fairly straight-forward with a relational db using a foreign
key.
Same concept ;)
See http://www.cmlenz.net/archives/2007/10/couchdb-joins for details.
Cheers

What would be the best way to do it, so that you can have a page,
myblog.com/categories/this-category/ that'd then display all the
entries
for
that category? What would be proper?
Having a category field on the blog post itself is a fine way to do
this.
Eg:
{
"title":"Blah",
"author":"Chris",
"category":"music",
"date": ...
}
Writing a view that sorts posts by category and date would be simple
with this sort of data structure. Of course if you wanted to rename a
category later you'd need to touch all the documents that listed it,
so this solution is more like tagging than categories, but should
fulfill the need.
