Hi Bryan. while I do agree that django is easy to use, I'm trying to take the user point of view. What we have got (IMHO) is 3-4 blogs which don't have many features when compared to wordpress or typo, and as such a user (or future developer) wouldn't be interesting in installing them and choose something else. if you combined I can imagine you would integrate features like - askimet spam tracking - auto tagging from tagthe.net - pingbacks - themeing - multi-user support - captcha of some sort and so on. so I see a blogging app more as a opportunity to lure more developers into the django community, than a learning exercise for a developer (which of course is also a great reason to build one in itself) regards Ian > > Bryan > > 1. http://www2.jeffcroft.com/2006/may/02/django-non-programmers/ > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
