Blog

2010/04/05

I've set up a microblog for my homepage. Sometimes I need more than 140 characters.

I'm also trying to tie in some bare-bones RSS; seems to be working so far.

Tech details: It's almost like a tumble blog in that entries are titled by day (yyyymmdd) and there's only one entry per day. The editor offers no formatting. A GET parameter can be used to edit older posts. Simple rewrite rules give pretty URLs. On update it creates a simple RSS feed. The variables are all define()s in a config file, so it should be easy to deploy more copies. Total dev time: 4 hours.
