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.
I think you'd be hard pushed to find blogging software that *doesn't* support tagging and retrieval by tag.
It's not just tagging and retrieval by tag that I want. I want to be able to see (for example) all the motorbike entries as a blog as if they were the entire blog. Ideally when in 'motobike blog' mode added entries would automatically be motorbike entries. I could switch to 'boat' mode (or other modes) and they'd look like standalone blogs too, but importantly I want to be able to see *all* the blog entries (boat, motorbike, others) together as a blog too.
Most blog software that allows tagging, allows limiting to a tag. So it *would* look almost like a seperate blog. The other bit - automatic recognition of which tags to apply because of where you are, doesn't as far as I know exist.
Personally I use my own django based blogging tool and a set of categories, but then it mostly works how I want (one day I'll get round to finishing the code so that it actually does what I want).
Cheers,
