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.
Sorry to sound argumentative, but I still fail to see how tagging and selecting is any different to what you're describing.
I want each blog to be effectively 'transparent' so I can sit in what feels like the 'boat blog', add entries which are automatically part of the 'boat blog' and view just the 'boat blog'.
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
What I mean is, how is the above significantly different to:
blog blog?tag=boke blog?tag=boat
Er, what does the above actually mean, are you entering it as a URL or what?
? This is also significantly more flexible.
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.
A difficulty which may well be solved by tagging.
Only if I enter the tag on every blog entry surely, that's one of the things I'm trying to avoid having to do.
Also, because I haven't said it in this thread yet, I do this kind of stuff with org-mode http://orgmode.org/. All hail org-mode.
Yes, my blog files are plain text too and I can edit them directly if/when I want.
