Re: [WSG] Semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on a esthetics, web standards, and usability

[Chris Stratford]

I have coded my own blog. www.neester.com took me about 4 days to et working. now its working great! I have added bbcode to make it simple for me to format. simply a [b] or [i]... URLs are auto converted etc... its perfect for me. i really HATE using pre-written code. I feel like such a script kiddy. No offence to all those script kiddies out there who use wordpress or the like... :) just kidding of course. i mean as much offence as i can :) just joking... :D but yeah. I always try and make my own solution. it takes longer, and isn't always the best. but atleast i know its my work! cheers! Chatham, Will wrote: I use Wordpress too on my personal Blog. After doing a lot of testing, I settled on it for it's ease of use and standards compliance. The only thing tricky I have found is that you have to be careful when you cut & paste text into a blog entry. If there are any special characters, it will throw off your validation.
