Been researching the new ATOM API at AtomEnabled.org.

What does AtomEnabled do for developers?

AtomEnabled finally makes it possible for developers to have a consistent, tightly-specified, well documented XML format for both syndication and authoring of content.

Using one data format for both reading and writing, with a growing library of components supporting Atom development in almost any major scripting or programming language, means your application, site, or device can be benefitting from the network effect of a large community while spending less time developing core data exchange functionality. And with development of robust testing suites under way, you can take advantage of the work of other developers in the AtomEnabled community while focusing on the business logic, user experience, or content presentation that add the most value to your application.

Blogger now has a WYSIWYG editor!

Not long ago I shifted from my trusty Movable Type installation across to Blogger. This happened just after Google acquired blogger, not so long ago.

As you may of noticed I jumped ship once again to head back towards Movable Type with the release of version 3.0 and the controversial pricing scheme.

It occurred to me recently that I was short of time to manually upgrade MT for feature updates. Why not use a free service provided that care of that stuff for me? The answer was simple, implement my new site theme into Blogger templates and head back to Blogger.com.

Word Press: “is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful.” (wordpress.org)

Waiting for MySQL to be installed on my host so I can whack on Word Press and start creating sites on par with my old movable type package.
