RSS Autodiscovery

I needed to check my notes on RSS autodiscovery; I wrote about it in passing in my article on Venus, and on returning found this article by Pete Freitag. The key idiom is to add a <link> tag in the <head> section of your html page. Here are more notes …

About SIOC

# I have thought long and hard about data modelling the person and wondered if SIOC would help. It seems designed for the modelling of blogs and so I am not sure, but here are my notes and links.

JSON to XML

In order to export the ello.co feed, I need to convert the JSON to XML. This isn’t the first time I have needed to look at this sort of problem and so I have created a page to hold my notes. I have put these things together in a python script, and posted it to…

Exporting ello.co

This it seems is no longer relevant. I have marked it deprecated. The ello URL syntax described i.e.  http://ello.co/username.json no longer works. They weren’t very helpful to the project when I first looked at it. This post morphed into a generic web login via scripts page. I will consider splitting it and making the ello…

New RSS/XML tools

AS the big boy’s look to enclose our content, the architecture I articulated in Are Blogs losing their influence has been broken, badly. I originally used Friendfeed & mingle as my aggregators but it’s a bit tricky I have documented IFTT  on this wiki and Feedly on my blog, they ahve led me to the following…

Feed Aggregation, paper.li and storify

I am considering a revamp of my web site. I am planning to rely more on dynamic content mainly hosted in this wiki and on the blog. One item of research is how to present my bookmarks and microblog articles. I thought I was interested in paper.li vs stori.fy. Here is a google search, storify…

Snipsnap to WordPress

I plan to look at moving my snipsnap bliki to wordpress, i.e, here. This snip was originally placed on that site. I have transferred it for one reason because it contains xml tags which xslt has problems dealing with. This article consists of my notes made while designing a transfer mechanism.

Implementing an XML feed viewer in HTML

I decided to have another go as I was looking to consume some planet feeds on a static web page. I found Display Your Feed on a Static HTML Page Using FeedBurner’s BuzzBoost using Google and this points at Feedburner’s Buzzboost, which is part of their feed publicity toolset. Now marked deprecated.

Snipsnap, RSS & XML feeds

This page was originally entitled “Snipsnap Blog & XML Feeds”. It documented one of the crucial failings in snipsnap, its limited rss feed size of 10 and the blog article naming which means that it considered nearly all the articles to be titled “1”. In 2009, I experimented with using Google reader as a feed…

Extending Snipsnap (superceded)

This article, which was originally about how to extend snipsnap & was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 20th June 2013, I gave up on Snipsnap later in the year, and the project has been abandoned by its authors. This content is thus pretty much superseded and the title but not the link has…
