    WelcomeNote
    Hi, I'm DavidHarper. I propose that TiddlyWiki and the BlosxomWeblog make a powerful and flexible team. I call this dynamic concept BloTid. This is an example to show that the concept is feasible, though much remains to be done to extend its capabilities.

    TiddlyWordish
    TiddlyWordish is a concept for an extension of BlosxomWeblog's WikiWordish plugin, to support TiddlyWiki style links.

    WikiEditish
    WikiEditish is an existing plugin for the BlosxomWeblog, which allows for wiki-like editing of weblog entries.

    WikiWordish
    WikiWordish is a BlosxomWeblog plugin that allows a form of wikiword syntax. This plugin could be possibly modified to support TiddlyWordish.

    TiddlyWiki
    A TiddlyWiki is like a blog because it's divided up into neat little chunks, but it encourages you to read it by hyperlinking rather than sequentially: if you like, a non-linear blog analogue that binds the individual microcontent items into a cohesive whole. The latest version of TiddlyWiki can be found at http://tiddlywiki.com/

    TiddlyFlavoured
    A TiddlyFlavoured BlosxomWeblog creates a BlosxomGenerated TiddlyWiki. This fusion is what inspired BloTid.

    RssSiteFeed
    [[SubscribeToFeed|http://www.spacecoastweb.net/BloTid/Tiddly/index.rss]] \n A BlosxomGenerated TiddlyWiki RSSFeed. \n BloTid makes RSS easy.

    TiddlyUpload
    TiddlyUpload would be accomplished by a ServerSide Perl script. An upload form to a CGI script could port TiddlyWiki pages into Blosxom sites, by scraping the page for new or updated Tiddlers; This would give BloTid an RssSiteFeed and aid in distribution and maintainence of shared TiddlyWiki notebooks. A versioning system tagged by individual author could allow administrators to resolve any editing conflicts.

    TiddlyMarkDown
    TiddlyMarkDown is a concept for exporting BlosxomWeblog sites to TiddlyWiki. A Blosxom plugin could be designed to support TiddlyMarkDown, (stripping out HTML, rewriting links in TiddlyWiki syntax, trying to preserve the formatting of existing entries). Blosxom sites could then be ported to a TiddlyWiki, in a nearly seamless fashion.

    BloTid
    A fusion of BlosxomWeblog and TiddlyWiki, BloTid is a TiddlyWiki adaptation, generated by converting Blosxom sites into a TiddlyFlavoured output.\n\n TiddlyWordish, TiddlyMarkDown and TiddlyUpload are concepts for extending Blosxom into a closer alliance with TiddlyWiki.\n\n BloTid was proposed by DavidHarper, with many thanks to RaelDornfest, (author of Blosxom), and JeremyRuston, (author of TiddlyWiki), and with the hopes that both communities will find some use in it.\n\n Learn more about this TiddlyWiki adaptation at [[spacecoastweb.net BloTid Development blog|http://www.spacecoastweb.net/BloTid/]].

    BlosxomGenerated
    A BlosxomGenerated TiddlyWiki is just like any other TiddlyWiki, except it is really a TiddlyFlavoured BlosxomWeblog. The rules for notation in Blosxom are different, but can be adapted to serve. The BloTid method of publishing TiddlyWiki pages will be of greatest use when a TiddlyUpload and versioning system are created.

    BlosxomWeblog
    [[Blosxom|http://www.blosxom.com/]] is the ServerSide Perl script at the heart of a very adaptable blogging solution. RaelDornfest is the primary author of this fine software, but many others are active in its development. Blosxom is extended though plugins and its output can be flavoured to suit many needs. Blosxom makes it easy for a group to update a shared set of pages, with wiki-like functionality using the WikiEditish and WikiWordish plugins. It was simple to configure Blosxom's output to produce a TiddlyWiki. On-demand production of several flavours of dynamic content is Blosxom's forte: It easily produces RSS, so a BlosxomGenerated TiddlyWiki has a built-in RssSiteFeed.

    Development notes.
    In early May of 2004, I began work on Blotid. I proved the concept could work, but I wasn't quite satisfied.

    I set the project aside until mid August, when I decided to tackle it fresh. In a few hours, I had it looking decent, so I decided to release it to the public.

    There is a lot of work to the project that still wants done, but I probably won't get to it very quickly.

    Suggestions are always welcome. Write to me at: {{{dave (at) spacecoastweb (dot) org}}}
