Peter's Blog

Redefining the Impossible

New Blog Platform


This blog is now running on my new rails based blogging platform which I have called PetersBlogger (I'm not good at names).

It's mostly complete. Features:

  • post articles (or you wouldn't be reading this)
  • wilki formatting including syntax highlighting with ultraviolet e.g.
    strThis = "that"
    
  • comments, including
    • moderation list
    • Peter's simplistic captcha system
  • tagging
  • pingomatic submission
  • Technorati tags
  • rss feeds (no atom yet)
  • uses fragment caching for performance

Todo list:

  • AJAX formatting preview
  • atom feeds (do I care?)
  • search (or rely on google)
  • tag cloud
  • archives by month/year: you DO care what I wrote in Feb 2005 right?
  • gimmicks

Please let me know if you spot any sillies (that's if comment submission is working at all).

It's nice to use because the administration interface isn't split out into a seperate set of web pages, when I 'log in' I simply get extra buttons to press in the pages that you are seeing.

Congrats, but your RSS is broken.

What's broken?

It is quite possible that any feed readers will decide that I have posted a load of new articles because the feed isn't exactly the same as the old feed. However this should only happen once.

RSS seems fine to me, as does comment submission. :> Nice job.

Thanks Mania.

Both firefox's and IE7's RSS viewers show the feed ok and I compared the raw output to what drupal was giving me. The drupal feed was missing a guid field so the new feed is better.

[Valid RSS]

Ok there are some recommendations but 'nuff said.

I chucked in an atom feed while I was on a roll:

[Valid Atom 1.0]
