After my mention Monday to duplicate the beauty of Joi Ito's Moblog, Joi quickly added his own Comment[] and set me running towards something I'd been thinking about for a while...a Movable Type weblog. And Joi pointed me to his Moblogging Notes, which indicates that I'm going to somehow need to marry up MT with a mail2entry.py script to get mobile blogging underway. BTW, it looks like the Joi is experimenting, with technology-agnostically beautiful results, with higher-res pictures...something very key to what I'm working on for the Playboy Jazz Festival Weblog. And it just so happens that the Movable Type folks will help with my installation for a nominal fee. So I started that process, which has led me a the pre-requiste of making sure that my web server host, http://WestHost.com, can support Movable Type. I posted something on the WestHost forum asking for verification and looking for WestHost Moveable Type folks to commune with and learn from. As of now, Westhost as verified that my plan supports MT technology and I'm waiting to make sure I've got the mySQL database setup so I can move forward with the MT installers. Maybe we'll finalize our order today and see how quickly we're up and running with Movable Type.
More to follow....hopefully more progress to follow... |
