    I stumbled across your blog when I was searching for ways to convert a KDE iconset into a gnome iconset. Are you going to finish your scripts anytime soon?

    I have had to put it on hold due to real life things that are taking up logs of time. Sorry.

    This is probably best for as an email, but I couldn't find one so I'll post it here. This has little to do with this page so if there is no reply, I'll understand.

    I am beginning to use vim and it has become my preferred editor. I'd like to be able to use it to do more and would like to build a website, but I have not idea how to start. I understand alot of what is done here in done with vim and emacs, so I hope the question isn't out of whack. So I humbly, clumsily ask for help. Any recommendations on where to start? Specifically can tagging be done thorough vim and is it worth doing?

    Go Moo,

    I'm not sure what you mean by tagging. If you mean like tagging/categorizing a blog post, Vim isn't really going to help with that.

    If your goal is to learn a new programming language (which was my main goal in making my Lisp site), then just start writing code. That's the only way to learn. It doesn't really matter what editor you use for that, or even what kind of program you write. Best way to learn is by experimenting.

    Almost every language in the world has about a hundred “How to make a blog from scratch using language X” tutorials if you google for them. Making a blog is like the “hello, world” of the modern era. Often you can find a narrated video showing someone writing the code step-by-step. Those are helpful. If you're lucky the video will also include Vim or Emacs tricks.
