Up until now I’ve been writing articles directly into my XML files, but last night I spent a couple hours trying to get an online upload form working. I wrote a xml writer, and a password-protected page on the site. The form on the page takes in the text of my blog post and adds the proper xml tags by just doing some simple string processing.

I’m actually writing this post in that form. It’s kind of a test to see how well that works. I also have some aspirations to allow for more tags (such as images, links and code tags) but I think those will have to be manually entered into the online form. I don’t intend to make the writer search for and interpret those tags.

I’m going to be spending most of today working on the site too. I hope to have all the back-end stuff done by tonight, so I can just focus on writing articles and design.
