Managing my content

I’ve just decided to use this blog to manage some of the content for my new business website — cyberstruction.co.uk. Cyberstruction is implemented using the Cocoon framework, but I think I’ve mentioned this before.

Cocoon is especially good at aggregating data from different sources and WordPress is designed to provide both easy publishing and RSS distribution. Put these together and I hope to centralise my content generation and management, whilst providing access from wherever I want.

I’ve never bothered using the online editor provided with WordPress, other than simply pasting text into the form fields. I use Textmate to write my articles and publish them using XML–RPC, and frankly I find this arrangement suits me very well.

Rather than replicating this functionality on my new website, I thought I’d build a customised XML feed in WordPress and apply a XSLT template to incorporate the content into Cyberstruction.

I should be able to apply this same solution to feeds from other web applications such as del.icio.us and flickr.
