WordPress Hack

I had written this hack a long time ago, but considering the renewed interest, I wanted to make sure it was recorded. It make a small row of clickable smilies show up on top of box where you edit your post. Click on the smilie and it gets translated and put in the right place, no more guessing! Here is the link to the hack. *Edit* The hack has been fixed for use on comments which show up on the main page (without the use of 12_comments popup)

I have most of the work done for blogPost Beta 1.0. Here is a small list of features and bugs. #Features include (for now), posting to multiple blogs, comment and ping control, category control, –more– and –excerpt– modification ability. #Bugs: There are quite a few for now. I have not been able to test this on too many blog applications I know that the comments do not get blocked on MT, their documentation sucks If someone could get me an LJ code, I could test it on there Any others, let me know. Here is the download link to blogPost 1.0 Beta. Have fun! *Update* – A couple of bugfixes already. Comment and ping control should work for MT now (sorry Anil!) it was my Boo-Boo, not MTs fault!

Weblog Add-Ons

WayPath has released the Beta version of their Waypath Related Stuff This is a very interesting extension of the Waypath algorithm. Waypath lets you search for related information from their collection of RSS feeds through either their web interface or the use of Plug-Ins for various weblog applications. This extension allows the search of related books from Amazon.com. Even though this might not be very useful for every blog item, somewhat static informational posts can definitely benefit from this addition. I am about to use it to put some books up for my Regular Expressions Tutorial. If and when they release the XML-RPC/REST-XML methods for their new search, I will try to write another plug-in for WordPress and php based blogs. (my previous Waypath plug-in was a relative success) Worthy of mention is that if you have an Amazon affiliate ID, you can include that in your list of books [...]

I am almost done with blogPost. This application (written at my own behest, to learn) is a client application to post to blogs. Some of the final features will include: Ability to post to multiple blogs with the same item blogPostComment, ping and post status controls (which are lacking in w.bloggar) Ability to code RPC calls into the application (with associated help files) for new blogging applications and APIs not implemented Pure XMLRPC implementation, so simple code, existing methodology Open Source, ThankYouWare Features NOT part of the agenda include: Fancy interface with lots of XP like icons which are never used by the average blogger Ability to edit or modify previous posts Category name retrieval from blog(might be included in forthcoming editions, just not this one) Multi-threading (this example will NOT be thread safe) I have gotten the XMLRPC++ modded enough to work with my application and I am presently [...]

Has your blogroll been hacked recently? If so I have some quick solutions for you which might get you off your Blogroll kick and might save you some hassles in the long run. 1) Use WordPress which has a built-in BlogRoll – no subscriptions needed! 2) Use my LinkTours php script which emulates a blogroll, is stored on your own webserver and is very slim and tidy, but it lacks the pinging scripts (so no updated sites list) 3) MT has a hack (I know it exists, Im still trying to find it) which emulates a BlogRoll 4) TypePad has built-in blogroll functionality, as well, using the TypeLists feature – Added by Anil 5) The online RSS reader Bloglines will let you export folders of your subscriptions as a blogroll. This means your blogroll is automatically synchronised with what you are really reading. – Added by Ben 6) Make Backups! [...]
