Custom applications
It is entirely possible that a business will scorn premanufactured software and choose to
build an application with its internal development team. This choice may descend from
technical limitations (for instance, its databases are in Sybase or its servers run IBM??™s
Domino platform, neither of which are supported by mainstream blog software) or from
policy (some companies restrict the use of open source software). In either case, building
a blog application is not difficult, but it needs to support certain technologies that readers
of blogs expect:
Chronological posting, permanent links, and archiving: Best practices in blogging dictate
that the most recent content appears first, and that past posts are smartly organized
in a public archive where people can browse older content.
