Thingamablog recently resurfaced with a new beta version after nearly two years silence. Since September Thingamablog, TAMB for short, has issued four beta versions in the 1.5 series and hopefully we will see a RC (release candidate) soon, but as there are still some bugs to sort out, it can still take a little while.

The strong point about TAMB is that it creates static webpages that behave like a dynamic blog.

In a recent interview on Uhusnest, Bob Tandlinger, the developer of TAMB, shares some of his viewpoints about TAMB and I happen to share most of these as well.

# I think this is the niche that Thingamablog fills. An easy to use blogging platform that you are in complete control over.
# It's fairly easy to use and has a small learning curve. If you can use an email client, you can use Thingamablog.
# It works anywhere regardless of what is supported on the server side. If you can FTP to it, Thingamablog will most likely work with it.
# It's easy to experiment with and make blogs look how you want. No need to learn a new programming language just to edit a template. The template syntax is straight forward easy to understand.
# You can maintain multiple blogs on multiple different servers from a single program.
# Your blog data lives on your computer, not on some server in the cloud. (This is either a good thing or not depending on your point of view.)

The rest of my entry contains a rant, but to read that you have to go to Felix Atagong's Unfinished Projects...
