Three weeks ago, kslog was assigned a second home (really, more like a zen garden) at WordPress. The toe-dip experiment got under way when this typer desired an updated set of features (in addition to the Blogger standards), such as
- tags for entries,
- post categorisation,
- templates to choose from which didn't look as common as Blogger's,
- a super simple/obvious off the bat way to post RSS in a sidebar,
- customizable template CSS.
WordPress has much to offer kslog and was slightly ahead of the game, thanks to its early adoption of tags. Until recently, I've had to keep an extension installed in Firefox in order to easily tag my Blogger posts.
And then Blogger picked up the pace (a bit).
An announcement, dated August 14, informs readers that the service will be available in beta, with added features such as 'labels' (why not stick with the rest of the 'net and just call them tags??) and mouse (vs code) template customization. Sounds interesting; it's nice to see some advancement. Problem is, my perception of Blogger over the past while has been shifting toward juvenile, clunky, and basic. Now that owner Google seems to have the ball rolling at its blog company, maybe the dillydallying will cease and Blogger will pull itself up to date.
Question for the reader:
Which publishing service do you use for your website?
