I tried customizing Blogger templates. Even if it is fashion and it's very convenient for the management of screen resolutions, I do not waste unnecessary space in blocks of fixed width. This is particularly important when the content is presented voluminous as this blog.
compatibility tests should not be any major compatibility problems for browsers, I tested the new interface in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 Beta 2, as evidently as in Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Opera 9.0. Browsershots no longer appears to meet, I also quickly checked the compatibility with Safari on iCapture and Safaritest and under Konqueror Dillo and Lynx site Scapture . This result shows a somewhat truncated.
If you have a problem, please post a comment stating your environment.
New Features
lacks two features are essential to me on Blogger:
- Research
- The message categorization
Research
A search is now being available at the top of this blog. This is the Google Ajax Search API . It's very simple to implement and customize. In addition, the update of the index is almost immediate. I think the API should be based on results from Google Blog Search .
The message categorization
Without going to implement a tag cloud, I find interresting can categorize messages by subject. To overcome this shortcoming, I developed what some might call a "gas factory". However, the result seems to work well and for minimum effort.
A LotusScript agent
will grab the blog feed and extract the title and first paragraph. It records the data on the Notes database examples. The category is automatically extracted from the title. Indeed, the current sytax tracks on this blog is CATEGORY - Title . It only remains to list the categories on the blog by inserting text via javascript. These categories link to a view of the Notes database that shows the titles and the first pargraphe items from a category.
surely I'll be back on the extractant which is a simple example of retrieving RSS feeds in Lotus Notes.
