Friday August 08, 2008 Roller theme revisionThe last article contained several javascripts and I discovered that the RTF editor on roller strips them out, so I am back to the raw text editor and writing in HTML. Also it's the first article I have used sub-headings in for several years. I have amended the h1 and h2 css rules. I have assigned the h1 rule to the article title lines in the _day file and used the h2 tags in the article content fields. I am working on a major theme release which I'll contribute when finished. tags: technology roller themes css 
(2008-08-08 06:23:10.0) Permalink Help with making a personal feed using SaaSI have for a while tried to create a personal feed of stuff I put on the internet, in the hope that someone might be interested. Historically this has been a planet but I now have a FriendFeed account. I am considering aggregating my bookmarks from del.icio.us into the feed and wonder what my correspondents, that's you that is, think. The reason I worry is that I issue a lot of bookmarks. The current feed is at My Planet, (hover over the link for a preview). It has been implemented using an old version of planet planet, and so is available in RSS, ATOM and HTML (?). However it has a couple of problems (see below). One of my facebook correspondents pointed me at FriendFeed. Prior to finding this, Richard Morgan pointed me at secondbrian.net, (see below). One of the things that makes friendfeed so useful is that it has a generic feed service, so if their specific services, and they have a lot, don't suit then you can use the generic service, which is how I subscribe this blog, and my bliki to the friendfeed. One neat gadget they offer is a weblog widget, which looks like this... I am currently post into the feed from my blog, my bliki blog, my google reader shares, my flickr and my twitter. The Flickr subscription consumes both my photostream and favourites. The ones I have syndicated at planet/davelevy and not yet syndicated on friend feed include my bookmarks at delicious.com, which is the nearest thing I have to a microblog. You have to work at it and it tells you what I'm reading on the internet i.e. what I am thinking about not what I am doing. I also syndicate my digg posts at my planet and I have displayed the digg stories on the full article page. The final feed consumed at my planet is my slynkr posts. I have decided to stop using this. See Au revoir Slynkr, below. This leaves my plazes feed as unforwarded. Since I use the plazer, each time I move computer or network, it generates a new plaze. This can lead to many entries for the same place on a single day. I expect that people want to track location, and most importantly timezone, not my connections. The plazes feed needs a filter to restrict the feed to first of day and change of location and I have considered using planet or venus to do this. The one feed that I think would add to the Friendfeed is my bookmarks. On some days, when researching something I may write number of bookmarks in quite short periods. Is this a burden to my correspondents? When done, I can pump friend feed back through planet for any legacy users. Perhaps I should check its actually used by anyone other than me.

(2008-08-08 03:20:22.0) Permalink Reading Danilo Poccia's italian language blog Danilo Poccia has been experimenting with allowing his readers to use Google translate to read his blog. I, at least, will find this useful as Danilo writes in italian. This could of course be an advantage as the 'to english' translators may be stronger, since it looks quite good to me. It also enhances his hit count; its only available via the HTML interface. tags: technology blogging translation europe
