Introduction
I have a weblog_. At the time of writing this is a hand-made Zope
blog, consisting entirely of page templates and scripts, which
sit in the Zope Database. See the status from early 2006 on the
`wayback machine`_. It works, it is fast, but it is kludgey. I
have to do too many things before I can publish a new weblog entry.
So there is room for improvement. Plus several other weblogs are
available in Plone. Quills seems to be good, and I know a few persons
who also use it, for instance my brother_, so I choose to use that
too.

Actually, I have two weblogs at my site. One is a general blog where
I post personal things or entries relating to programming. The other
is a completely `Dutch blog`_ for my church_. Look at the
`old version`_. Actually it is more of a podcast. It contains small
entries with a link to an external mp3 file containing a complete
service of my church, and bigger entries with a link to a local mp3
file with just the sermon in case our pastor Erik was leading this
service. So one service could actually have two entries. Again, it
works, it is fast, but it is kludgey.

For this second blog, Quills seems like a reasonable choice as well.
But to really make it useful, I would want two extra fields for the
audio blog, that can contain links to those mp3 files. For the sermon
it could be even nicer to be able to upload this file via Quills and
have the link correctly made. But that may be added later. For now,
I am happy with just two extra links in a Quills WeblogEntry.
