Long-Form Writing Infrastructure In Place

BlogX is great for posting little blurbs that occur to me. But it doesn't have a good facility for writing long-form pieces, like the Direct3D tutorial series I've been working on. So I set out to write one myself. I wanted it to be based on XSLT so I could easily give everything a consistent look and feel (plus add navigation), but still allow me to write my articles using Word.

Version 0.5 is now done. Accordingly, I've added a link on the blog to the new writing page. More content to follow. I have a whole bunch of ideas for features I'd like to add (e.g. an RSS feed for the articles separate from this blog, last-modified dates in the articles themselves, etc.), but for now I'm pretty happy. If anyone is dying for a copy of the code, I can provide it, but it's still pretty rough.

  1. Hi Craig... I've been hacking around some similar limitations lately and would love to check out what you've come up with.
