==== New Blog Software ====
I decided that [[http://blosxom.sourceforge.net/|blosxom]] just wasn't quite doing it for me as far as blogging software goes.  I wanted something that would provide the following features:
  * Timestamped entries (blosxom does this)
  * Easier formatting than HTML (blosxom doesn't do this :-()
  * Easier, web-based editing (blosxom is command-line text-based)
  * Easy linking to other posts and to website (blosxom does this, but using HTML :-()
  * Tagged entries (blosxom doesn't do this)
  * Perusal by tags (blosxom doesn't do this)
  * The ability to amend entries after original edit (blosxom does do this)
  * Reading list entries (blosxom could do this, but not as easy as my custom-brewed scripts)
  * The ability to easily document projects or technical insights (HTML isn't easy :-()
  * A wiki/blog that doesn't need a database, or at worse uses sqlite (blosxom does this)

I had already used DokuWiki for various wiki needs, and after taking a look at some of the plugins available, I decided to give it a try as a blogging tool.  After some experimentation in an offline environment, I was convinced it meets my needs better than blosxom.  I ported my old blog entries, added this entry, and here we are!  I hope you find it as much of an improvement as I do.  Now I just need to move my reading list.
