WordPress provides a great platform for blogging. Drupal provides all the tools for a great blogging platform, but it takes some effort to join all those tools together. This module goes some way to addressing that.

The killer features I see in WordPress are:

  • A prepackaged content-type for blog posts.
  • A date-based navigation system in the sidebar, which shows the years/months when blogs were posted, and how many posts were created for that year/month.
  • Hackable clean URLs: new posts are created with a permalink URL which includes the year, month, and day they were posted, and the title of the blog post.
  • Free-tagging of blog posts with arbitrary tags.

This module tries to provide similar functionality using Drupal techniques and tools. In Drupal terms, this module provides:

  • A content-type
  • A taxonomy vocabulary for free tagging
  • Views (which accept year/month/day arguments) for browsing the blog archive
  • A block, to provide date-based navigation around the view.

Requirements

  • Drupal (no, afraid this won't run on WordPress!)
  • Taxonomy (core)
  • Views
