I think I will now write about other things, what exacly I'm not sure yet...

Another thing is of course the ability to create "static" pages, for fixed content, although you need a separate template for them. This actually is the minus side for me, the complexification (is that even a word?) of the template system: much more flexible but much more work... " />

I offer syndication feeds for its content as well as the comments posted on the posts. You can get feeds for the comments on individual posts from the link at the top of the comments section:

The main feeds are:

The entries rss feed

and the comments feed.

I like the way my little script works, because if for whatever reason the commenter didn't fil the captcha field properly, they wil be sent an email containing a link allowing them to publish their own comment. I'm wondering if spammers would learn how to make their robots do that... Anyway, doesn't matter because I haven't had a *single* comment spam since I changed over from wordpress yesterday. Wait and see, I guess.

Anyway, the move is made now and I don't think there's any going back. I feel such a freedom from being able to hack the code in any (bad) way I want, it was like a breath of fresh air for me.

There are still a lot of features left to implement, like pingback (that one is a toughie!), a proper calendar, ideally using XMLHttpRequests, comments feeds, Atom feeds and a few more things. I would like some suggestions from readers as well, to see what can be done.

For now though, trackbacks should be functionnal (feel free to test it) and the RSS feed for articles is available. I reused some code from a few wordpress plugins, and I would like to give credit to Michel Fortin for Markdown, to Phu Ly & Dunstan Orchard & Michael Heilemann for Dunstan's Time of day and Time Since, to Daryl for his Amazon wishlist plugin, although I don't know if that will stay there for long, and to Bitflux for the LiveSearch functions. Thanks go out to all of them.

The release of Wordpress 1.5, I've been wondering what to do with this blog.

I looked at upgrading, but that would mean a few days of work to have the blog the way I like it again. I hacked WP 1.2 so much that it would be very difficult to just upgrade and expect everything to go smoothly. Also I asked to myself: do I really need a blogging tool to do coffee as well as allow me to publish stuff easily. I guess I mean that Wordpress now has many more features than I have use for, and I don't really see the point of it.

So there you have it, I decided to design a blogging software from scratch. Yes, it takes some work, but maybe not much more as what I put in to hack wordpress. It's a great learning exercise anyway...

I just couldn't stop laughing when I saw their 'sales pitch' on the home page, so I just had to open an account with them.

So, feel free to write me at jfoucher@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com

Ooops, looks like that address is too big for my layout! ;)

So there you go, have fun writing real comments!

I will see quite quickly if this plugin is as good as it's supposed to be. In the meantime don't hesitate to gzip archive, unpack the hacker.php file within and upload it to your wp-content/plugins directory.

Once you have done this, activate it from the admin interface.

Any text between and tags will now show in what I call 'hacker style', or 'hacker language', but there must be a better name for this, so please let me know what it is...

That's it ! Pretty useless, but enjoy it anyway...

One big limitation of this version is that you can only have one block in each post due to regex problems. If you can fix that, please do ;)

Edit: The example doesn't work anymore because I'm not using Wordpress at this time. However, you can still download it (I hope ;).
