:: BLOSXOM
Blosxom is light-weight blogging application that I'm going to be experimenting with. The website isn't all together yet, so give me some time. If you're interested in using blosxom, you can [go to their website]. It's free. Cgi-based. Not difficult in the least to use or design. Let me know if you need any help. My contact info will be up eventually.
I'm really interested in it because it's based on a hierarchy structure. It's intended to be used with text files and folders. The same folders we all use on our hard-drives anyway. Recently there's been an explosion of "tagging" or "labeling." GMail lets you "label" items and items can have more than one label. Blog posts and photos can have more than one tag, should they fit into more than one category. But I think there's something fundamental and beautiful about a taxonomy. Things within things, in one place and nowhere else. You have to make a decision about the sum of an entity. You can't always collocate.
