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.
