Bloo v 0.13 released

Bloo v 0.13 has been released. Below is a summary of the new features:

  • I’ve implemented an RSS 2.0 feed (see the right sidebar). The feed has validated, but please let me know if it ever goes invalid in your reader. I basically wrote it from scratch.
  • Now the posts have a day header on them
  • I am now pinging to rpc.pingomatic.com, rather than to weblogs.com. Hopefully this will provide for a more reliable ping when this blog updates
  • Now when creating a post I can create a “Draft” that only I can see. This will come in handy for me as I’m a major re-writer/editor of my posts. They usually change about 7 times after I publish them to the blog – now you won’t have to “watch me for the changes” as my posts morph before your eyes.
  • There is now a Search “snapon” – see the right sidebar. It will search the posts for words or phrases, and will highlight the words or phrases in the posts that match
  • Beefed up my headers (stuff you can’t see that’s sent with the http request)
  • Small formatting changes

Deploying this took me longer than I had hoped it would tonight. Boy am I punchy, as you can see by this poorly worded and ungrammatical release notes screed . . . zzzzzzzz

Version 0.14 should be coming out in about a week, I suppose. More on that later.

Watch me for the changes . . .

  1. Again, I bow before your Ubër-Geekness!

    Your RSS feed works flawlessly in NetNewsWire. In addition, the Sage plugin to FireFox found the feed immediately and added it without complaint.

    Good job, amigo!

  2. Thanks Andy

    I will probably take you up on that in a few more releases. I’ve been working on some exciting (well, for me) concepts related to how to group/structure the SnapOns and Overlays in such a way as to provide maximum ability for the user to revamp the site quickly and easily, add new functionality, etc. I’m going to release v 0.14 sometime near the end of this week (I hope) that gets me one step closer to that vision, although probably still not ready to see the light of day.

    But, yeah, when you’re ready to crank up a Bloo blog after I get a few more items taken care of I’ll be all over that!

    thanks again
