Coding My Blog
Somewhere in the last week, I had the bright idea that I would make my own software for my blog. I have been using WordPress for a long time, and Moveable Type before that, and - around the time the earth was first cooling - Blogger.
But it was getting to the point where WordPress had so many bells and whistles that I was finding it disincentive to actually writing anything.
So I have spent about 10 hours creating my own solution, and I like it so far. It's not fancy and not competition for the big offerings, but it does what I want, how I want it.
It doesn't do comments yet, and I want to have a good think about how I can make it relatively easy for people to comment, and reasonably hard for spammers and scammers to flood the site with nonsense. Greater minds than mine continue to struggle with this.
