Hi,
Thanks, but I don't think that's going to work. It doesn't look like it
does rss feeds at all and that's kind of the point of a blog. I'm
looking at a package called blosxom which works with plain text. It
looks like nanoblogger requires some html markup. If I'm doing that, I
might as well use WordPress or a CMS. The point is that I don't want to
bother with html markup. My other concern at this point is
accessibility, both in terms of the actual software (not much of an
issue because it's on the web server) and in terms of the html output
being readable with Lynx and text browsers. Blosxom seems to do what I
want while providing multiple flavours, so I can have minimal html for
Lynx, more advanced html for everyone else and rss for feed readers. It
supports static and dynamic pages. The only thing I'm unsure about is
if it does podcasts but there are many plugins. It looks a little old
though. I have both it and nanoblogger installed so I'll experiment
with both. I'm not opposed to a CMS, I just don't want something too
complex to figure out.
