I already use blogger and compose in word (using a little copynpaste). I don't want to write a server app that replaces blogger, like greymatter. Eventually I want this to grow into a tool to manage my whole site so it's more like a content management app ala frontpage. The difference is that I don't want wysiwyg page design, I just want wysiwyg in-line text editing (that autocorrects!). I'm a writer. http://ftrain.com is an inspiration. XML-izing my content opens up a lot of options for presenting it to my readers. After doing this for 5 years, I'm just tired of using other people's products to build and manage my site. They always end up limiting me or outright screwing me. If I have to wait for features or start over and redesign my whole site, I'd rather it be because of something I did. davep |
