I think I'm going to use wordpress

Now having completed my macro & micro analysis, and starting more detailed work on the project I'm considering ditching blogger and moving to Wordpress for my project. Why? Wordpress will let me do more of what I aimed to do in my project.

My project plan was to build a template editor for blogger as an exploration into SVG and JavaScript. However blogger doesn't support template editing from outside of blogger any more. Version 1 did but the current version 2 won't. I've been aware of this for a while but have left it to now to make a final call.

It's not like others haven't requested the ability to modify templates in blogger using the google data api however it doesn't look like this will be a supported feature in the near future. See this post for the only response I can find from blogger on this topic.

Old Skool web joke

So I'm pretty sure I missed this one in it's hay day but I thought I'd share it. Ahem... I mean hears one of the references that didn't make my macro micro report but probably should have:

DIY Webserver

While reviewing the technologies to use for my project I also spent some time looking into what it takes to set up your own web server. This was because I was considering using Java and Java hosting is not as cheap or widely available as other open source technologies. If your considering building your own web server to host your project you might want to check out a few of the links below:

Learning Proposal V3

Check out my latest learning proposal. I've done some more research on vector graphics and I'm developing a keen interest in dojox gfx.

Dojox GFX is an experimental javascript library that implements vector graphics for several browsers loosely following SVG. For more on Dojox GFX.
