By popular request, I've tweaked the Processing Blogs templates so they make it obvious who is posting what. Suggestions welcome for further improvements.
If anyone has some time to spare, I could do with some help finding out which bit of the tool chain is failing when I post images to Blogger because Processing Blogs doesn't pick them up properly. We're running Wordpress 1.5.something and the FeedWordPress plug-in to do the aggregation. It looks like Blogger sometimes changes the way html is encoded in my atom feed - perhaps that's it? I think Wordpress uses the Magpie RSS parser, but I couldn't work out how to update it in my Wordpress installation.
Comments are off.
Just wondering how the <code> tag works in html with Blogger.
// nothing to see here, just pretending that I've posted some code
for (int i = 0; i println("nothing to see here");
}
Does that work? Who knows? I bet it breaks Processing Blogs, but then so does posting images to this blog, for some reason. What's a blogger to do?
on edit: surprisingly seems to work as long as you stay in "edit html" and don't flick into compose or preview. Seems well padded with this style sheet though, so no need for leading or trailing line breaks in the code.
on second edit: Oh, and indenting doesn't show up, but at least it wraps long lines. Can't ask for everything!
on aggregation: Seems I was right - though it works on the page itself, it doesn't seem to get picked up by Bloglines or my Processing Blogs aggregator. Looks like it's missing from the atom feed entirely... I think I'll post a bug.
All will be revealed shortly...
Apologies for low signal:noise.
Update: I'm aggregating blogs about Processing and related topics at Processing Blogs. Contributions welcome.
I'm using WordPress with the FeedWordPress plug-in. A few teething problems (no mod_rewrite to begin with, and a few mis-assigned posts due to default account names), but now everthing seems to be working. Not sure what to do about all the different categories it imports though.
With luck, the aggregated copy of this post will have been updated.
Blogger seems to be stepping up once more as my path-of-least-resistance content management tool. I'm now using it to organise my Processing sketches over here.
Honest, at some point I'll design my own template. Just not now.
I'm moving this over to http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/weblog at the moment. Apologies for any bumps. There should be permanent redirects in place on the server shortly.
If you're reading via a news reader, the feed should now be in place at http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/weblog/atom.xml - good news reading software will know what to do about the redirect, of course.
Old content from http://www.tom-carden.co.uk will be back up shortly, except the old weblog (selected posts may be restored).
