I’m curious if anyone has tried using Radiant as a Tumblelog. I’ve  
been contemplating it for some time and thought it would be a good  
fit. Different media types could have different page layouts and  
comments aren’t necessary. I think the big thing would be navigating  
lots of content in the admin area. I am a Tumblr user (and a Radiant  
user!) and there are two big hang-ups for me: Multi-user tumblelogs  
aren’t possible and creating more than one account would require  
logging in and out. I imagine that adding a link to “create child  
page” in my browser would suffice and I’d be able to have a few going  
at one time.

Any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

I haven’t thought as much as you about it, but I’ve always felt that a  
second level of authorization could be built onto Radiant, perhaps as an  
extension (or a separate application?).

The idea would be to create a system that logs in general users and  
present them with a smaller view for adding content. Perhaps, this  
second level view would prevent them from using tags and be restricted  
to one or more filters, but they would not have the rights to enable or  
disable extensions and do not have the rights to use the extensions  
(like copy/ move, etc.) - but they’d just be able to add content.

I haven’t used Tumblelog… and I haven’t taken a closer look at the  
Blogging/ Comment extensions that are available for Radiant.

I think I’m just rambling… but there may be some ideas there!
