Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

While the person setting up the site is asking the right people for advice, I'm not sure he has any relevant tech know how, so I'm going to keep it as easy as possible. I'm sad that Blogger doesn't have tagging, since its ability to publish to a web site without having to install any software would have been ideal.

But that's the price you pay.

Looking at Wordpress now. I may give DocuWiki a once-over too.

WordPress is also available as a hosted service at wordpress.com; it's free and allows you to set up logins for multiple contributors (although I couldn't suss out from their TOS whether there's a limit on how many, nor what their limits are for storage, bandwidth, and the like).
