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.

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

    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…
