Gekitsuu's Geekery

I've been thinking for some time now about making my own blogging tool because, lets face it, if you don't make your own most of the time
you're just making do. I wanted to document a bit, for myself, what the plan is so far, that way I'll have something to look back to later
to see what I planned and what I ended up with. The basic rule of it will be that all the files published to the website are static content
which means there most likely won't be a form for comments. I'm still debating this issue internally and may decide later to make a comment
cgi. I want to have the articles stored in xml files that will be diced up RSS items for easy generation of feeds. I'm big on
RSS at this point and this would be a good way to develop better skills. Also I wanted to design the output files to work easily with
CSS so if I decide down the road to release the project as an open source app; other people will be able to customize it easily.
Another contributing factor to me doing this is so I can design the system in such a way that my wife will be interested in using it. I think
she'd have a real fun time with a blog but she doesn't like using the nanoblogger software that I use.
