Bilingual blog: Wordpress, Tumblr, or Blogger?

I'm helping a Korean artist setup an internet blog to showcase her work. Since her goal is to have her blog in both English and Korean, my question is: which of these platforms better supports bilingual posts: Wordpress, Tumblr, or Blogger?

By better support I mean, which of these platforms will help avoid having to ultimately manage two different blogs?

Changing messy Tumblr URL

On Tumblr we keep getting really messy URLs generated for our blog posts. Is there any way that this can be changed?

For instance, in the example bellow, the blogs title is ‘Playing with scale and proportion’ so I’d like the URL to read

/post/playing-with-scale-and-proportion

without all the numbers in-between.

Blog reading and following for busy people

There are lots of RSS readers out there, but they just flood you with a big list of all the posts from the site to date. For those of us who are time-starved, but still like to keep in touch in a passive way (meaning not regularly going through your RSS reader like your inbox), this is overwhelming.

What I want this reader to do is, whenever I have some time to catch up, show me the top X posts (using whatever criteria) from the blog for a specific time period. This period could be a day, a week or a month! By this way, even if I took a long break, I could still catch up and feel not being left out!

Are there any apps like this out there?

Mapping the link network between websites (blogs)?

I wish to create a link map between blogs so to reflect the "social network" between bloggers.

Such a service would take a starting point of a blog or two, and start adding links and mapping the links between them.

Is there a web service to do this?

(I am sure I once found a service that does that - but can't find it at the moment)

Syndicate all posts and photos made to facebook

My family has a website that helps to keep us all in constant contact with each other. Recently a good number of the younger family members have started to use facebook. Our little family website is somewhat idle as a result which is where a few older family members still visit.

Is it possible to automatically cross post all status update and images from facebook over to our family blog so that these little historical tidbits of information aren't locked away in the great facebook network and the older family members who don't quite get facebook can benefit?

Disabling a blogspot/blogger blog after losing access to the owner e-mail account

I need to remove a blogspot (AKA Blogger) blog from the Internet. I made it over five years ago, and I no longer have access to the e-mail account that it was created with. As a result, I have no way of closing the blog, deactivating the URL or preventing the blog from being searched.

Apparently Google doesn't remove URLs from its index even if you put them under the category of defamation unless you have a court order.

What can I do to make this blog go away?

Web resources for specific types of funny pictures? [closed]

No, not lolcats. And I'm not really looking for a specific site, either.

I have often wished that I had some funny picture to illustrate a presentation, a website, a post, an email, or something else. Google image search and stock photo services have hardly ever helped me, although that may be because I'm doing something wrong.

Jeff Atwood seems to have no problem to find funny pictures for his codinghorror and stackoverflow blogs, as well as for the error messages on the trilogy sites. One of my favourites was this elephant. Other bloggers also seem to be quite good at it.

I'm wondering if I simply lack the creativity or if there's sources or methods I don't know about. I could think of the following ways to get pictures, but I'm not sure whether this is really "how they do it".

  • keep a collection of pictures that you stumbled upon and liked (takes quite some time to build up to a proper library), when you need a picture, there's one in there
  • maybe have pictures on paper, too, like from magazines or ads.
  • when you are looking for a picture, search online (Flickr, Google, stock photos). This has never really worked for me, I don't know why.
  • produce the pictures yourself, i. e. have a good library of source material or find some online and apply some creativity and suitable software. I could imagine that this could work well once you have the practice.

Blog/Wiki Hybrid? [closed]

I want to start a blog that has public editing rules, like a wiki. Is there such a thing?

Edit: That is also hosted (like Blogger) or a method I can host it on a web space (such as Google Pages)
