Thanks for all your suggestions - looking over JSON it seems a much more straightforward and lightweight thing to deal with than XML, especially since it's so much closer to straight Python dictionaries (which I'm more than used to). To be honest, I had no real love of XML, but it seemed to be the standard and like I said, I was always taught that Javascript was a dirty word, so a lot of this JSON / AJAX / ACRONYM stuff just flies over my head. Thanks for the heads up about MongoDB, too. After a quick Google there seems to be enough people using it and Django together to not make it seem so intimidating, and it looks like a great fit for the kind of content the site will create.
And chunks of data in databases aren't called blobs? Thank you very much, 7 year old PHP/MySQL education. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
