Working in Movement

I've been messing around with three very different programs recently, looking to possibly move my weblog from Radio Userland to something more "friendly." Not that Radio isn't powerful; it certainly is. But I'm getting tired of it and it seems so "geeky," so cumbersome to change things. Still, a lot of the complexity is hidden away yet accessible. I'm just tired of it.

So I've been playing around with iWeb, Sandvox and Tinderbox. Of the three, iWeb is the simplest, friendliest and perhaps the least powerful. Sandvox resembles iWeb, but packs more flexibility in the range of things it does for a web log. Still in beta and still pretty buggy, though. Tinderbox packs more power than I've seen in almost any program I've used in the past. But it's also a lot more complex, a somewhat cousin of the late Lotus Agenda. Minus the MS DOS prompt, of course.

I'm not sure what the outcome of these explorations will be. It's fun trying new stuff; really fun comparing programs that are so different in what they can do and how they do it. Perhaps I'll post this to all three and see how they look. (Make that four -- Working in Movement, this weblog, too.)
