I’m building a blog system in flash, fairly simple. But the whole point is its based on one text file, a php file, and two flash files. 1 Being the admin, 2 being the user. I haven’t thought to start comments, though i have worked on making it more wordpress-like. For example, you can preview your text(how it would look in html) you can add open and close tags (well, for now just link).

is there any pitfalls to having a flash text based blog? Other than SEO. I don’t see many flashBased blog systems. Is there alot of reasons why? (other than seo)

Pm me if you want the link to my work in progress
