wordpress

To post the 'The Internets @ ...' posts I am using a perl script originally written by Stephen:

The script was later on modified by Edward de Leau to be compatible with wordpress 2.3.

And I must say, I am very happy with this script. One problem was that it also synchronizes private links. I don't like this, when I mark a link private, it should stay private, and not posted on my wordpress. So I modified the script to be able to NOT synchronize these links.

While I was at it I also added an option to include the tags in the body of the post or not. Well actually this already existed, but was commented out. I just added a boolean to be able to choose wether to include them or not.

In the future I plan to maybe at the option to be able to choose fixed tags to be used in wordpress for a daily post.

Actually some nice features in the new wordpress:

• Post Revisions
  Wiki style revisions of posts, being able to restore previous versions. Might be handy for multi-user blogs...
• "Press This"
  A bookmarklet for your bookmarks toolbar which enables you to write about a certain post and choose from their images/video's to import them in your post. I'm actually writing this post with "press this", nice!
• Shift Gears
  Speed up your blog
• Theme Previews
• A lot of bug fixes
