iwantablog is a conceptual product being developed by Jon Lister and Nick Webb which uses TiddlyWiki to generate and manage other webpages using a new template-based saving mechanism. As the name suggests, the web pages being created for this proof of concept will be traditional blog pages (which can be easily indexed by search engines and read by screen readers, unlike TiddlyWiki itself) but, if successful, the same mechanism can be used to create any web page.

The proof of concept shows a straightforward html page being generated. The next step will be for the engine to generate not only the front end pages, but also a content management system for the blog.

This project is at a very early stage, but a screencast of the demo can be seen here:
