irishblogs.org | Irish Blogs. Organised.

Started another site for free Irish blogs, because I wanted this one to be different: I'd like to allow people to organise their posts by category (using taxonomies) or tag (using folksonomies).

I've started the taxonomy, which is a hybrid of Yahoo! Directory and the Open Directory Project, but I'll add the new folksonomy module for Drupal (backported from 4.7 to 4.6) later on. I hope to enrole some taxonomy editors from the irishblogs mailing list too.

BTW there's a good article on Drupal in this month's Linux Magazine, and I'm happy to see that the latest release of Drupal (4.6 from last month) has PHP5 support.

Yes it really is a nice

Yes it really is a nice system, I've got three other installs of it going.

Some of the nice features are the taxonomy/folksonomy modules, FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) import of remote profiles, single sign-on, image galleries, etc. Must install a few more of the useful modules on irishblogs.org.

You can also quick blog an aggregated item from the right when logged in. There's a little "b" beside the aggregated items that you click on...

I see Dan Gillmor is using

I see Dan Gillmor is using Drupal for his new Bay area project too...perhaps I should test it out.
