Multi-author PHP blog

**redemption** · Jun 21, 2003, 22:43

Is anyone interested in contributing to a multi-author PHP blog? I'm toying with the idea of a multi-author PHP blog, and am looking for possible contributors. It would be good if someone could provide a full domain but in the meantime I'm looking at setting up a subdomain.

The blog would not-for-profit and all contributions are to be on a voluntary basis.

PM or email me if you're interested.

(Yes, if you've noticed, I'd also asked for authors for a Java Tips blog in the Java forum - I just thought to see the interest in the PHP corner.)

Hi.

I think this is a great idea and would like to contribute to this

Regards,
Christian

I would like to contribute too. I can register a domain for this, just let me know what name you would like to use.

Umm... Might be interested as I'm working on something myself ? If your interested in learning MVC then here is an opportunity for you... As this is basically what I script towards nowadays.

Toly I can only provide a subdomain so if you can provide a full domain that would be great!

I'm thinking of garnering the collective knowledge and community of SPF to make this work. if you're interested, just buzz in!

Yes, I can provide a full domain. I'll just need a name for this domain to register it.

I could throw something on the pile occasionally.

**redemption** · Jun 26, 2003, 04:15

Hmmm a domain name... I'm not good with names so someone else could get suggesting.

All variations of blogs4coders are still available .. e.g. blogs4coders.com, blogs4coders.net, etc.

**SJH** · Jun 26, 2003, 04:39

I may be interested... what sort of content would you be expecting us to post?

**Dr Livingston** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:15

Content ? A blog is a blog is it not ?

**SJH** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:17

You know what I mean

**siteguru** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:18

Indeed. So what would anyone "blog" about in relation to PHP? (Or any coding/scripting language for that matter).

**netkid** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:22

I would be interested...it would make updating on a site w/ many "admins" or "moderators" easier

I could come up w/ some graphics...im still playing around w/ graphic design and I think this would be a fun project...I could also test it...

If you wish to contact me...email me...

Plenty

Are 3 off the top of my head. Actually, PHP's weblogging community is relatively weak compared to some other languages (Java, Python.)

**redemption** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:29

I'm not too sure what the content should be, whether it should be specialised or general. I'm leaning towards a general PHP blog, but it would be good to hear everyone's opinions.

netkid: How would this make updating on a site easier? (Sorry I don't understand what you said

)

My thoughts exactly

- has anyone found a PHP blog listing sort of like java.blogs (post here)?

**netkid** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:34

Ok...so there are some sites like I ran on this during my visits in internet: www.thehpn.com

This "Harry Potter" community hires many people to help organize the site, update, moderate...etc..

The multi-authoring would prolly make updating easier for the people...

Some possible steps:

1) login
2) access update page
3) updating
- a form where they type in their update and post it

thats how I see it...but is this project...to make a multi author PHP blog program or to just start one...

**redemption** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:38

Oh you are mistaken

This is to start one, not to make one.

Edit:

MovableType allows for multiple authors - it's written in Perl. I don't know about other blogs - you could ask in the Scripts and Online Services if you want to find one.

**SJH** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:40

While we're on the topic, what script were you planning to use?

**netkid** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:41

o ok...but ill still help...it sounds cool

I fancy MovableType a lot, but it is not PHP - I don't mind, personally, but does anyone?

If you know of a PHP blog that has multi-authoring capabilities, do link to it here.

**SJH** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:47

I quite like MovableType as well

-Sam

**anode** · Jun 26, 2003, 07:51

Drupal - may have a few too many features/be bloated depending on on your perspective.

**Dr Livingston** · Jun 26, 2003, 08:31

Yer, I've seen MovableType as well, and it looks good; Not tried it yet though ? Actually this would be a good place to start for ideas no ? What they can do we can do better so to speak ?

NetKid - stick with it
