I am not sure when Avianto told me about tumblelog for the first time. He mentioned about project.ioni.st. And few weeks ago, I try to install a new tumblelog using ozimodo. The installation is easy, editing the themes is also easy. No hardwork. You can have your ozimodo-based tumblelogs in few minutes.
About ozimodo: What you can get
After having ozimodo installed, I gave it a try. These are some points I found:
- Multi authors — yes, you can have multiple authors.
- Quick and simple way to post. The interface for the admin/user area is simple. You do not need to waste your time only to manage settings. All settings derived from
config/tumble.yml - Tags, tags and tags. Yes, you can use tags… as many tags as you want.
- Post types (Post, links, code, image, video). This feature is so great. So, we can have many different ways on how every single post should be presented. And you can do it easily.
- Inline, Ajaxy editing of tumbles. It’s something like what you have when you are logged in to your Flickr account, and you want to edit photo titles or description. Click, edit, and update.
- It’s free.
Those are some points to take note. You can read more information about the features, installation guide, and some sites powered by ozimodo. Just go to ozimodo project page.
When I installed it successfully, the first thing I did was adding users. Just want to explore about user permission. Your posts will can be edited by other users. So, probably, it is great for personal tumblelog, or… all authors trust each other.
Wait, those features are based on ozimodo-1.2.1. I am sure that the development will continue…
Hey, I want to have one too!
I tried ozimodo. It works without problem. Then I asked myself, “did it really work for me? right now? next week, next months, when I want to have mre features and modifications?” These are few thing I want to have in my own tumblelog:
- Categories
- Fields, and more fields should be easy to be added
- Multi author, with permission settings
- Tags
- Archiving mechanism
So,here we go… a newly setup tumblelog. It’s sambl. Thanks Avianto for the idea. Yeah, I love sambl too, instead of sambel. Yes, it is powered by Movable Type. And, do not forget to check Andry’s Tumblr Tamblr also…
