Gmail as a blogging system?

Randy · 05-01-2005, 05:13 PM

This is pretty interesting. I was bored and browsing around and came across this... definitely worth a read for bloggers with Gmail... I might even consider doing this eventually for a fun project.

Sounds interesting if you like blogging, but I don't understand how that would be possible. How would you be able to use your gmail as storage for a blog engine. I'm sure it is possible, otherwise he wouldn't be working on it.

If somebody can make a vitual harddrive using gmail then this can also be possible

Ya and you r right if he is trying it, it may be possible.
Its wierd that some days back i was thinking may be someone will develop some script or some program by which we can use gmail as a webspace. Like we can build our website using gmail space. I know its very raw idea but who knows... And mind it we can access our gmail as many times as we like and no bandwidth woes also ..

very nice find randy. thanks for the link.

to be honest, I consider it's nothing interesting.
Email is email, blog is blog. We have blogger.com, and blogspot.com is very fast. Why should I have to use the storage space of Gmail?

The example which is mentioned in this site is itself not working

Randy · 05-02-2005, 03:16 AM

The example they provided seems to work. I think the link devin told us about has a much nicer interface, and if I was going to do blogging through Gmail, that's what I would go with first.
