Unless someone else decides to go down the Blogvoices, Reblogger, BlogBack and Snorcomments path (and why would they?), I’m afraid that remotely-hosted dotcomments is next in line. After months of light activity, the main comment and source of support is getting a bit more active. So, since the hurdle of ftping a couple of files, […]
Testing the much-improved program formerly known as Digiblog. Today’s improvement include a link generator that knows about the target attribute, and your choice of (valid) html or xhtml breaks, rather than Blogger’s unclosed paragraphs.
More good stuff from Marcus (of BlogBack fame), who is redoing his PHP Blogger API script (Digiblog) to ping weblogs.com. I wonder if I can talk him out of the source: an open source PHP API client that you could install on your own server would be really handy for things like writing an image […]
Apparently the January 2002 issue of of Smart Computing has/will have a big article on Blogger. Blogger’s Technical Support Department is quaking in its boots.
At last, someone has a Blogger API client that does more than Blogger’s own interface, not less. iBlog has drag and drop support (for text or files), and the iBlog Text Substitution Engine, which lets you set up shortcuts that can automatically be expanded, so that every time you type MeFi it is expanded into […]
A somewhat roundabout way to ping weblogs.com from your Blogger blog: Adam Kalsey’s RSSBlog is a Perl script to create an RSS feed for your blog, which also pings weblogs.com when it notices that your blog has changed since the last time someone requested the feed.
While you wait for Ev. to support pinging weblogs.com, you can manually ping them, either by going to the ping site form page or by using Aaron’s bookmarklet or my popup version, but neither way is automagic enough to suit me. What I’m doing, and what you can do too, is combining a cookie with […]
Why didn’t I think of that? Since my dropdown archive script doesn’t take much space, there’s no reason not to have another copy of it at the bottom of the page. I really should rewrite it though, so that when you are in an archive page, that page is the selected option. Better yet, the […]
Blogger wishlist: Categories, and archiving by category Archiving by post and by day Ping weblogs.com on update Post preview (with CSS from your template) Image uploader Back and future dating of posts Import entries from other systems Integrated comments with comment preview Can you tell what I’ve been playing with?
Rads: no more waiting for Blog of Note lightning to strike, no more trolling for interesting blogs among the hundreds of “just testing” in the Recently Updated. I like it.
