I think I'm looking for some blog software (more to use for keeping tabs on my thoughts and as an aide memoire than for inviting comments) but I'd really like to be able to 'filter' the blog.
I.e. I'd like to be able to tag entries in the blog with tags such as 'boat', 'motorbike', etc. and then have the ability to view the blog as a 'boat' blog or a 'motorbike' blog showing only the boat or motorbike tagged pages.
One approach of course is simply to have separate blogs for each but it's also possible there will be overlapping tags and it would also be useful to see the whole blog at times.
Any ideas if there's anything out there that can do this? If one could actually set the 'current tag' for a session that would be ideal.
On my Blog (which is admittedly Windows based) you can tag posts. Using these tags, you can then select or search posts of that theme. I thought this was a fairly universal option?
You have a Windows *server*?
Anyway I don't want just to select and search posts, I want a 'boat' blog, a 'bike' blog and a 'general' blog which are all actually the same data with filters applied.
I've now actually got pretty close to what I want with DokuWiki and its blog plugin. I just have a directory hierarchy as follows:-
blog blog/bike blog/boat
The blog plugin is told where its 'root' is and presents all entries below that root as the blog. So I tell it 'blog', or 'blog/bike' or 'blog/boat' according to what I want. I need to make sure my posts to the blog get put in the right place (another plugin helps on that front) and I have near enough what I want.
