div on, yon divvers

(from rambly.tid#techblog)

so in searching (google) for .tid versions of these tiddlyspots, the div tags (<div></div>) mug up the info, and there i am, with my hard-earned searching strategies going to the good Mr. Ruston and the (taciturn?) UnaMesa.

don’t get me wrong, i would be more than happy to put tiddlywiki info on the front page. and in the code. wherever. but if i have a search listing, my peoples want to see what the site is about. right?

plus it says, only works with javascript, and i even know some javascript now, and i wouldn’t click on a link that says that, about ‘only works on’. cos of crash-ola potential, who wants to risk that?

but. upon further a-muse-ment, i wonder about those little div tags. cos every problem is its own solution, am i wrong? if i were wrong, well, that would be a problem, and if it were true that i were wrong about every problem being its own solution, well, then, there would not be an inherent solution to that problem, so let us be thankful that this is not the case, and i am, indeed, not wrong.

about the div tags. if google likes div tags, then i say, give ‘em div tags! what if, when we get our shiny new tiddlywiki file, we can type in our site description, and it goes in da div tags! can that be done? is it impossible?

what if, oh, let’s go crazy here, and say that what if the tiddlers i wanted to release to the feed were to go in a similar <tag> situation in the html file.

but see, i would be as happy as this octopus to lets my tags, and only my tags, be submitted. not every stupid thing i ever say needs to be referenced forever, you know.

just the tags. when i name the tags, i name what the info is about. and my tags go in the html file, and get searched by the googly ones, and read by the (soon forthcoming from who knows where) tagReader (s).

question of tag(s) plurality is still on the table.

i want a tiddlyblog

i want to watch cute english men talking about tiddlyblogs.

oops, i mean, i want to keep up on the latest developments in the blogosphere. in the tiddlysphere. in the tiddlyblogosphere. i’m getting dizzy. can’t something be a cube?

oops, i mean, i have a tiddlyblog, one which quickly turns into a myriad of blogs. truly mesmerizing and labyrinthical. or maybe that’s just me. i don’t know. what i do know is that currently i am the only one calling it a blog.

that is, currently i am the only one calling it a blog here, on my wordpress blog. which is a real blog.

why is this a real blog? search engine capabilities. relevance. feed reading. tagclouds. publishability.

incidentally, one of the things i like about tiddlywiki is that not everything is referenced by google. i do wander about sometimes, in me head, and type all sorts of dumb things. then i wake up the next morning and delete them. it’s part of my process. on this blog, things don’t delete from the feed, tho. the feed sees all.

so i would like to have my tiddlywiki publish some things to the feed/tag readers (blog tiddler, music tiddler, video tiddler) and not others (attempts at shizzolating the tao te ching, for instance).

i say feed/tag readers, as i believe the current ‘relevance’ of most search engines will soon be replaced by tag relevance.

so. in short (too late) i want a blog. i want a tiddlyblog. maybe two.
