Updating past posts
Posted on June 08, 2003 @ 14:07 in Sitestuff
I just posted some additional information about a subject I touched upon before in my weblog (Diderot's Voyage of Bougainville). Ideally this additional information would somehow be available from/through all posts related to the subject, so that someone entering the site through the first post sees that there are more posts on that subject. Of course I could create another category called "Diderot," but I doubt I'm going to post a whole lot more on this guy. So the category would have 2 posts in it and unnecessarily bloat the number of categories of this weblog.
Guess I'm going to have to use the RelatedEntriesByKeyword or the RelatedEntries plugins then. I'm also thinking about using the SimpleComments plugin to clean up the individual entries layout. It's going to mean that I'll also have to rethink the sidebar on the individual entries pages.
[Update: The problem is a bit stickier than I thought. Of course you can use a plugin like RelatedEntries, but unless you rebuild all of the individual archives every time you save a new post, that new post will not be automatically added to the RelatedEntries list of the old post. I'm trying to think of a good way to pull the information into the entries using a PHP include, but that's getting tricky because I'd like to be able to use multiple keywords, and if you use multiple keywords, it becomes difficult to generate the appropriate files automatically... Maybe I should start to learn some serious SQL-foo.]

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
