I recently decided it'd be fun to learn the Ruby language, and that a worthy undertaking to do so would be to port pyBlosxom - which I've been using for a little over a year now. The result is something I'm quite proud of, and am still actively working on -- Blosxonomy.

"What a name!", you say? Blosxonomy is a Blosxom-like blogging system implemented with Folksonomy in mind. Basically I've written it from the ground up to incorporate the work I've been doing in pyBlosxom to support tags, tag clouds, and external relations (specifically to Amazon products).

So now I'm proud to say that timfanelli dot com is:

Powered by me.

If you're interested, I have a guide at Blosxonomy.com that covers installing Blosxonomy in parallel with pyBlosxom, so you can try it out with out modifying your existing pyBlosxom site. In fact, timfanelli dot com still has pyBlosxom running, I use it for the Portico gallery plugin, which I haven't gotten to port yet.
