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.
Hmm. Tagging each entry actually sounds a lot easier to me. Then storage location becomes irrelevant.
I suppose it depends on the way the user (you or me) thinks about things. If I'm blogging away about my boat I'm guaranteed to forget to add a tag or anything, I just want a bookmark that says "Boat Blog", click on it and start writing. It also means that (if it's an open sort of blog - it's actually a wiki) other family members can have a bookmark too and fire away without any need to know technical things like "you have to add a 'boat' tag".
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.
Ah, but can yours include a link to an email generated with four keypresses and activated with two? And can yours turn entries into todo notes (two key presses) and arrange them in daily schedule (two keypresses)? ;-) org-mode is teh winner.
I don't want to do those things! :-)
Although I can actually have links to E-Mails in my wiki, I wrote the plugin to do it myself. In my case it's more for 'historical' purposes than todo lists and such. My E-Mail links are 'folded' such that if you click on them the E-Mail appears as part of the page you're viewing.
I also want to be able to link in to a database and output the contents thereof in various formats as part of my wiki/blog.
... horses for courses! :-)
