Blog brainstorming
“I’ve been brainstorming with some teams here at Macromedia about how we might help with software for the blog world, and I’m interested in what you all think. Are there things you wish were easier to do? Are there things you can’t do but wish you could? Is everything just fine as is?
For example, I know from designing this blog that it’s pretty difficult to create a blog design visually, since Dreamweaver doesn’t recognize the special MovableType tags (or the templates from other systems like Blogger). Also, Contribute makes it easy to edit content on HTML pages, but it might be useful to also post content to blogs with it. ColdFusion could better support assembly of microcontent. Flash has been used to enable some experiments in audio and videoblogs, but are there other rich interfaces we should explore with it?
If you have thoughts about this topic please post a comment or send me a note, and we’ll see what might be possible. Thanks!”
What a great way to communicate with your customers. We’re going to start doing this.
