WordPress 2.0 for ONet Blogging
December 28th, 2005
We just installed the latest WordPress 2.0 and used it to harvest all our ONet posts to our ONet blog. Check out the launch announcement here:http://www.omidyar.net/user/u193325011/news/4/We have used Drupal extensively for many various grassroots and business sites, but it is overkill for a basic blog. (We know, this is heresy to a Drupal fan. But there is much to be said for simplicity and design to specific purpose.)
With the hot-off-the-presses release of WordPress 2.0, we thought it would be a good time to check out WordPress while harvesting our ONet content for republication on the Sohodojo web site.
As others have said, the install was fast and painless. The new default TinyMCE-based rich text editor makes it easy to copy and paste our ONet posts to the blog. We then use an ONet Source custom field to link back to the original post on ONet.
If a bunch of ONet members do similar “post cloning” to external blogs we will both enlarge the search engine semantic/topical “cloud”/constellation of linkage to ONet content as well as help to increase the blogosphere presence for the ONet community.
