Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

move out and draw fire

The new beta version of Blogger supports tagging, but, beta. Blogger as it stands isn't awesome for comments, either - commenters can't comment on a comment (ie, no Reply).

I've just started to look at WordPress; I think that's what sites like LifeHacker use, and they have multiple content contributors (tho not 100), comments, trackback, tagging, and digg/delicious links.

Right there with you on the wiki software.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

When you say "tagging", do you mean by authors or commenters?

(And yes, I'm a wiki lover, but that sounds like a blog job).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tagging by authors, amych.

It looked a teeny bit like it could bleed into wiki, but everyone would be glad if it didn't--they just don't know that yet.

Oh, authors is much easier -- your mention of technorati had me scared for a moment there. As Raq says, WordPress does it fine. If they're nuts or really want better commenting features, LiveJournal's code can be installed on their own site.

I will not let them near LJ.

I'll look up WordPress. That software I've never used.

Thanks!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have a blue imac. I have spilled wine on the keyboard and it no longer works. Will any USB keyboard work with a mac, or do I need to get something special. The computer is so old that the apple keyboards (new) are really worth more than the computer, but I need to type!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Will any USB keyboard work with a mac

It should.

Of course, the little Mac key will be... something else, but it should still be useable. (Unless this doesn't apply to old macs.)

Coding and Sleeping

I've used DocuWiki with the blog plug-in for that sort of thing. It's pretty easy Wiki software to use/administer.

Thanks tommy. I am borrowing one from work.

Usually, it's the Windows key.
