Yep.  See emacs-wiki-blosxom.el (which requires my heirarchical wiki patches
to emacs-wiki.el) and remember-blosxom.el from
address@hidden/emacs-wiki--gary--1.0 and remember--gary--1.0 respectively.

To see what I am doing with the integration, take a look at my blog which does
(a) and (b) already: http://tkd.kicks-ass.net/blog.

|  And then, what would it take to produce the c. effect?

A Blosxom plugin to save visits to stories, and then present a most-visited 
index.

Cheers,
        Gary.
