Site philosophy

So the title’s a bit misleading: there is more than one haiku on this site, and they’re not even all haikus. One haiku might have become rather lonely rather quickly, wouldn’t you think?

In the name of fellowship among poems of all shapes and sizes and moody inclinations, post a poem; it will be [in] good company. :)

Site building blocks

This is how 1haiku.com is put together:

1haiku is hosted on Textdrive, and entirely content-managed through Textpattern (4.0.x) and its magic[k]s.

Regarding Textpattern, this site is built on one page template, four sections, and a slew of forms and categories. The additional Textpattern pieces that were necessary to make the site do what it does are as follows:

rei_show_custom 0.4 by Reinier Ladan

mdn_if_custom 1.1 by Mark Norton
