I installed the experimental Atom Publishing Protocol Server in in my local Wordpress test install.
Posted a entry using curl to talk to Wordpress.
Used hAtom2Atom.xsl to grab the embedded hAtom from the Sandbox themed blog.
Read the posted entry in NetNewsWire.
Round trip.
My webhost doesn’t run PHP 5 so I can’t experiment with Elias Torres’ APP client for Wordpress here. I was able to post to a test install of Wordpress on my PowerBook running PHP 5.
ETA: there’s an updated version that runs on PHP 4.4.x.
ETA 2: And it works, too. I just tried it with Tim [...]
Niall Kennedy shows how Digg could rewrite their feeds in Atom instead of RSS + custom namespaces, so that systems that consume the feed don’t have to be aware of Digg’s extensions.
Support for displaying and routing feeds in Firefox 2.0.
M. David Peterson’s misadventures with automatic feed handling in IE and Safari.
Mark Bernstein’s using Timeline to generate a view of his speaking engagements over the past few years. He put together some instructions, and supporting files for using Timeline with Tinderbox.
Aaron tries out a mashup of Timeline with weblog archives. He started out showing post titles in the timeline, but switched to showing tags/categories to give a sense of what topics he writes about.
An annoyance: Timeline expects RSS-style, instead of ISO, dates.
During all this recent excitement about using hAtom to generate feeds, I’d forgotten that I wrote about the concept nearly three years ago when I was getting ready to talk about syndication at Seybold SF.
While providing a purpose-built (ahem, Atom) feed remains the best answer, hAtom offers two things we didn’t have three years ago:
A [...]
I hung out in the back of the hall at Wordcamp, adding hAtom support to the default Wordpress theme.

I showed my work to Bill Lazar, who told me that Scott Allan Wallick’s new theme, Sandbox, available for Wordpress.com blogs, has hAtom baked in.
Well, that makes my work, Strangelove, v0.1, superfluous.
You [...]
A couple of long days (running from 8am to 11pm) at the San Jose Hyatt (which looks a bit like the late, lamented Hyatt Rickey’s) for Blogher.
Met many people, and a non-exhaustive list would include:
Elizabeth Perry
She’s a technologist in Pittsburgh, a heavy duty city for technology (CMU, and the steel mills that paid for CMU,) [...]
Cyn and I are going to Blogher in San José this Friday and Saturday. Friday is the technical track, and I’m looking forward to Susan Kitchen’s talk on podcasting. Saturday’s the social/practice track. Don’t worry Grace, you’ll run circles around Huffington at the keynote.
My plan for the conference is to listen and learn. And if [...]
Joe Clark uses a landing page as his link from comments in other blogs, such as over at Mark Pilgrim’s.
The page is a mixture of personal bibliography, and Mark Bernstein’s PIP concept.
Not a bad idea if you have several blogs.
hAtom’s not useful until you have a way to get from a blog’s summary page to an Atom feed. Chris Casciano wrote an AppleScript wrapping xsltproc that reads an hAtom page, applies the hAtom2Atom.xsl transform, and hands the result back to NetNewsWire.
Note: Scott Reynen points out that the script doesn’t work with NNW 2.1 beta.
Jeffrey Zeldman moved his “daily report” from hand-edited markup to WordPress. Another of the class of 1998 who’ve moved from handcoded or homebrew to one of the major blogging tools.
Rafe migrated his homebrew system to Movable Type last year.
Rebecca Blood switched from hand-edited markup to Movable Type at the start of 2006.
I don’t know when [...]
This weblog is a hobby, I must remind myself.
One thing I knew going to WordPress was that for reasons opaque to me, the package supports Atom 0.3, but not 1.0.
However, there’s a patch to provide support for 1.0 but it hasn’t been committed.
There’s also a template only patch.
Both of these escape the body of a [...]
Cyn and I spent Saturday at Woolfcamp, a barcamp-style event, instigated by Grace Davis and Liz Henry.
The Value of Jam/Camp Events
Badger mentioned some A-list geek telling her that the original jam/camp organizing thing was now obviously “diluted past recognition”. Now it’s worthless. To which I say 愚か! Consider:
You: Boss, can you send me to [...]
I’ve been writing with MarsEdit+WordPress for three days now. Completely different experience than with the old toolkit.
