John,

Is the above site created using Grims bashblogger software?

And are we, as regular users allowed to post?

And if so, how should we do so?

Grim's Blog is cool, but it is really meant for a personal blog, not a community system.

Yes, please feel free to start posting there, start your own personal DSL blog.

Guys, please consider yourselves invited to grab a blog. I am going to be putting my rants/opinions in there too.

This is my first blog experience so I am getting used to it. Once that happens, I'll blab about everything, probably.

John, Thanks for giving us the opportunity of blogging. It is very much appreciated. I hope that this blogging experiment brings even more notice to dsl in the future.

The Drupal software is good for articles as well as blogging so I changed the url to broaden it's scope.

New URL:
< http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/ >

If you are keen on writing any type of light Linux articles let me know.

Is there any way to make a < or a > character in a blog entry? I had an entry all made, but wherever I had an <F7> written, I got a blank spot. Putting it in a code section didn't help.

I converted them all to square brackets. Probably not much help to you....

You might be able to use HTML code, though that's even more work:
< or < = <
> or > = >

mikshaw, thanks, the < and > worked. I had tried &lt but I was missing the semicolin.

isn't it somehow a double of the forum?
people probably cannot post twice.
It may drain info and hints from the forum pages..that are so important to dsl development..
anyway. congrats for the blog, that for sure is another step forward in dsl history

Not really, the blogs are a little less topic strict than the forums.

The forums are supposed to be all business, but if you feel the urge to talk about youself, or your cat, you can do that in the blogs.

The blogs are also terrible for posting code, unless you happen to write very short lines.
