I Love Structured Blogging.

When what you ship is about 15% of what you have in development, it leaves a sweet/sour taste. You wish you could ship everything in a perfect state, all at once : But reality dictates eating 5-6 entree sized dishes keeps the hunger at bay. And the reality is every module takes twice as long as you expect to be half as good as you want.

I think the Project Formerly Known As Comet, now Vox - will do very well, and "nice" one "nice" Mena. When any piece of XML can be inserted into a blog platform and some cute custom CSS rolled out over the top to get away from the bland world of blog design, there are some pretty kewl things that can be done.

Getting the mainstream market to understand the 1-2-3 of blogging will be as big and as important a step, as Google's white box and a search box that delivered relevant results. To me 'structure' is the missing link. I'm guessing Mena's Mom is happy, and we will always have Paris.
