Logahead - Next Generation AJAX Weblog

Monday, February 27, 2006

image It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.


The user experience is astounding for a new blog app. In fact, he has included most of the features I would want if I developed my on blog software now. What I would consider the biggest improvement over other current free blog software is that there is no admin section. All of the admin functions are controlled inline. I've seen this feature used to a lesser extent in expensive proprietary CMS systems, but not in a flee blog release.

Other features include tagging, instant theme control, sidebar widgets, RSS feeds and inline text formating. One of the aspects of web 2.0 culture which I enjoy the most is the ability for single app developers to develop an application with a rich feature set. Logahead is a great example of that. I know the developer doesn't like buzz words but he really has incorporated all of the current ones into one app. Touche!

Looking at flights for our next trip to Oahu. Maybe September 20th to the 30th on the north shore. Our favorite place in the world. :)
