:D Well, if I had shell access to the box on which my blog is published, 
your CVS approach would be wonderful. Unfortunately, all I have is 
FTP... But wait a minute; am I a Ruby programmer, or aren't I? :) I'm 
sure I could make it work, for me. My wife, however, would certainly 
prefer the web interface to a 
text-editor/local-web-server/upload-process approach. It would certainly 
make Rublog that much more attractive to the 
"non-programming-casual-blogger" demographic.
