TrackBack pings

    So, I finally found a use for TrackBack pings... So for now I'm using a blosxom flavour for TrackBacks. It's not perfect, and it's going to create a lot of files on disc, but it's good enough for now.

    Does anyone have a better solution for TrackBacks before I write my own?

Problems with feed when I increases it's size?

    Liferea seems to have problems with my syndication feeds since I increased the number of posts in the feeds to 100 from 20. Are other people seeing these problems? That will indicate to me if it's a bug in liferea, or blosxom. I suspect it's liferea, as the dates for the posts shouldn't have changed.

ICBM tags for Blosxom

    So, I now have a Blosxom plug in which implements ICBM tags for Blosxom. I've had to implement it as a separate RSS feed here (see the bottom of this page) because it breaks the feed validator in my aggregator, and presumably your as well, but if it works you can subscribe to it. I'm not going to release the plug in just yet though -- I'm waiting for one last thing to work out before I unleash it.

    You'll see an announcement here when it's ready...

Static page titling plug in for Blosxom

    So, I ended up implementing my own titling plug in, called statictitler. It works in dynamic and static modes, and it's really rather simple. During story processing the plug in learns which is the top most story title, and stashes that for the title of the web page. If there are more stories (we're not on an individual page), then it appends some "and others" text to the end of the title.

    When the entire page has been generated, it then substitutes title in the output with the title that it decided on earlier. Very nice. Very simple. Really rather fast. No state files on disc.

Playing with page_titler

    page_titler is a plug in for Blosxom which changes the title of the page you're viewing the to name of the first story on the page. I've been playing with it, but unfortunately it doesn't work with the static generation mode for blosxom that I am running. I suspect I'm going to get to write my own one of these...

    It also has this weird cache file I don't really need...

Technorati tag support for Blosxom

    This is my first Bloxsom plug in, it implements Technorati tag support.

    The basic format is that you use a string of the form [tags: <tags>] -- that gets over written with a bunch of tags HTML, as defined by your config.

    As a default, it also uses the elements of the blosxom path as tags as well, although specific directory names can be overridden (I use this to map my diary to the blog tag).
