Hi,
At the moment the Personal Page system I use adds functions and preferences so that users can decide how, what and whether to display content. In this sense I guess our approaches are similar. It also uses CSS and dynamic templates…
I tried to stay as close as possible to Links in order to a) make integration and updates easy b) make the most of Links as a community tool with the aggregation of personal pages and/or blogs. I think the concept of creating personal communities seems a bit complicated in view of the time required for people to manage a simple blog IMHO.
I’m not sure I agree with you on the fact that blogs are for web spamming (although I know you aren't so categorical really;). When I started out on the web in 1993 people told me web sites were just for porn or games when/if they had a shady idea of what it was. Although I think the concept of blogs is sometimes a lot of marketing buzz, a blog is a good a way to let people, that don’t know much about html, publish their ideas or work and without it costing the earth. It’s obvious that some people will use and abuse them but that always happens.
Anyway I am spending the next few days translating my French version into English so that people that don’t speak French can get an idea of what I’m talking about :)
As I was saying if anybody knows anything about trackback I'd be very interested
Thanks, John
