My Blog Ain't No Stinkin' Diary

If one considers blog software as a "lightweight content management" system or a template driven web publishing platform, the possibilities are only bounded by our creativity.
Key questions:
* Once past the land of "blogs as diaries", what is there?
* What are the essential characteristics of blog software, and how can their applications be extended?
Hand coding HTML for web pages works fine for a few "pages", but loses effectiveness when the numbers hit 3 or 4 decimal places. What blog software provides for anyone publishing web content include:
* separation of content (stored in a database) from formatting (more and more web-standard designed templates)
* built in keyword search
* built in creation of RSS feeds
* built in commenting
* flexible organization via ctaegories defined by users
* editing via a simple web browser interface, w/o need for special software
* a shift to focus on the content from the formatting
* extensibility of functions via plug-ings
In April 2001 Dave Winer foresaw the Read/Write Web-- The Web is a Writing Environment-- In the meantime, the one revolution that the Internet has totally delivered is a fundamental change in the way written information and ideas flow. As people get more comfortable with networking technology, and as engineers learn how to do easier user interfaces, there will be more people writing on the Web.

* Weblogging: Another kind of website by Chris Ashley, IST—Interactive University. One day in mid-March of last year, Raymond Yee of the Interactive University (IU) [1] thought it would be a good idea to buy and experiment with Manila, a web server application capable of supporting literally thousands of weblog websites. A bargain-priced education license was purchased, and Catherine Yoes (then at IU) downloaded and installed it on a rather ordinary NT server. Within weeks the IU experienced a revolutionary change in thinking about what a website is, how they're hosted, what they're used for, how they're built, and who owns them. A year and a half later, all of the IU's websites are being produced using weblog technology, our team communications and sharing have been vitally enhanced, and a number of our team members are regularly writing on the web, as are many of our University/K-12 projects and the K-12 teachers we work with.
