Weblog running on it's own.

With the intense desire to be able to use categories to display certain weblog entries in real time, I've quickly whipped up a standalone script. Though, it's nice to still cheat and use Pittwater for creating the XML, when I don't feel like creating it directly (although, I am for this post, go figure!)

I must says, having the control to write my own markup language (basic UBB, and URL's automatically converted to links) is really nice. As is defining my own emoticon syntax - now I can write, like an email, and not worry about what BB I'm on.

However, how I'm eventually going to put this on my live website on Alphalink is another thing.

Extending this, I have the whole external rendering also setup for other parts of the site, to store the actual content in XML, which publishes into the actual webpages through XSLT rendering. Oh so much more maintainable, and I'll be able to upload published pages with no problem.
