So 'acvte' is still up for grabs?

Also, did you really just index your citations by zero? :)

Can't resist to add this: “Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration.” — Stan Kelly-Bootle

And everybody's favorite new band: Chvrches (Seriously they are pretty great though, impossible not to smile for the whole album).

You've got to give them credit for their SEO strategy.

And then there's the ol' writing your own publishing platform because nothing does quite what you want...

And this time it's going to be done right!

Medium drive me nuts. Though its a good writing software, I can't follow people that I find interesting. Instead we are following vague "collections" from a group of random people I don't care about. Can someone show me how to better browse thru it? All I really want is a feed of articles from people I actually want to hear from and their recommended articles from others. Maybe that is too close to Twitter for EV.

Maybe that is something RSS is for.

In addition to that, I've found Google+ to follow some of the people that write about topics I am interested in.

Hey, I'm building techendo and you can follow people. Would it be interesting for you to follow people and have the option to have a different stream of their actions? Do you just want posts or other actions like comments, etc?

And my personal favourite:

    $ cat << EOF > blog-post-n.html
    <html>
    <body>
    My post here
    </body>
    </html>
    EOF

    $ scp blog-post-n.html myserver:public_html

I did this for a long time. But the problems start right away when you want to add some navigation between pages. And then you want to have a chronological display of posts, or a master index, or tags. Then you want some consistent style, headers, menus. Then you figure you'd like comments. And search. And analytics. Then you realize you're half way to writing your own half assed blog engine and go check out Wordpress.

Nah, navigation? hyperlinks.

Master index? What for?

Chronological display of posts? Tags? You have so much content you need so much stuff to organize it?

Don't need menus, headers, consistent style. Use plain html.

Comments? God no. You'll have spam, you'll have to manage it. What you want is a contact page with your email address and your phone number. Everyone knows how to use those.

Search? This means you have too much stuff. Trim, keep the good stuff only.

Analytics? Server logs.

Then it's time to try Jekyll, Octopress, nanoc, Pelican, Hakyll, etc.

That's true. I never cared about any of that stuff.

Any half assed blog engine would be better than wordpress.

How fancy does you blog need to be? WP tosses most of the spam, lets you moderate the rest of these comments, makes it minimally painful to post text and images, and works without JavaScript. What more do you need?

Re:Open for everyone by pbhjpbhj on Tuesday January 28, 2014 @03:50PM (#7139614)

In what way in particular?

Re:Open for everyone by KingMob on Tuesday January 28, 2014 @04:44PM (#7139971)

Wordpress reminds me of Ron Swanson saying "Never half-ass two things, son. Whole-ass one thing."

But in general, Wordpress is rife with inconsistent UIs, plugins that cause each other problems, and attempting to be all things to all people. It's moved way, way past being just a blog engine.

Wordpress is just a shitty CMS, but it is still a decent blog publishing platform.

Unless you think that list will the same in 100 years, new services will continue to enter the space.
