The Semantic Web
In: Design
14 Dec 2006I think there might be something to this blog thing.
Last night, I put up a blog for our local buddhist group at zendenver.org – I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Ms. Jill Hadley Hooper did the intro animation and the backgrounds, and we worked together on the layout and design.
I am pretty impressed with Wordpress, the blogging, or “semantic personal publishing platform” as they call it, I am using for the Zen Denver site (and this one); there is a remarkable amount of flexibility and scalability; from a design perspective, it is a pretty powerful tool.
It doesn’t get rid of the need to understand html, css, stylesheets, and the like, but it does abstract the content layer from the presentation layer. And it does it for free.
It is certainly a welcome addition to the toolchest for someone interested in contextual (device independent) display of content.
