Mommy, What's a Folksonomy? Thu 24 Mar 2005

Spam Begone! Sat 12 Jul 2003 | 1 Comments

XML and Weblogging Fri 10 May 2002
An interesting piece about how the implementation of XML could help improve weblogging. I'm surprised such an idea never crossed my mind before, seeing as I keep a weblog and did a course in XML this year. Actually, this...

Ten Million Posts Tue 26 Feb 2002
This is the 10 millionth post to a Blogger-powered website. It's actually quite funny too. This post is probably quite redundant, since everyone and their mother is gonna link to it, but the layout caught my eye. Orange on...
