And it seems to me that you could get a *wildly* better blog design by
making an expressly PostgreSQL-oriented design.
Consider:
a) Mapping things like Wiki-style special indicators of formatting
(e.g. - where indentation / * means something) onto some "final form"
using stored procs written in pl/[text-munging-language]
b) Managing the various sorts of objects (users, entries, links to
local entries, links to outside entries) using a stored function API
so that what's visible in the outside language (Perl CGI or whatever)
becomes fairly trivial
c) Allowing the use of intelligent data types. Self-compressing
TOAST, strongly typed URLs, strongly typed and validated email
addresses, all of that sort of thing.
