blogmarks for 2006-01-03
by ecmanaut
Nice picks. Might I suggest adding these styles to your template CSS section, to make the page more readable? <b>.blogmarks-link img { margin:0px 0 1em 1em; }<br>.blogmarks-entry { clear:both; }</b>
Blogger post tagging update | Good service provider practices

I think we should be taking John's hint about this, and wait for the (most likely) forthcoming article on <a href="http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Freshblog</a> about how to go about this. It's quite possible the code isn't fully packaged a

Blogger's CAPTCHA overuse
by ecmanaut
That's an awful shame; Blogger really ought to do better than that. You did click the link to prompt them to verify you? (I at least <i>think</i> I recall there was such a link somewhere around the message explaining the additional CAPTCHAs. Not 100% sure

Google Reader also still has the misfeature of ups and downs, occasionally forgetting what posts you have already read, once in a while not getting access to your feed list at all, and so on.

1) I'm afraid publishing by ftp is <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/11/blogger-publish-ping-and-categorizer.html#caveats">not supported yet</a>.<br/><br/>2) I probably don't understand what you mean. If you want the Del.icio.us text field not to

I believe you might want to widen the scope of the question a bit, too -- while you might be able to get read access to nodes prior to a completed page load, write access support varies among browsers. Mozilla has no problem with inlined scripts doing, fo

Congratulations! I hope you will dig into something fun in Flock, but then I suppose chances of the opposite would be slim. :-)
Blogger's CAPTCHA overuse

They do, in the particular case when a blog author has the Blogger internal flag "likely splogger" set. But only then. Are you still not cleared from that suspicion, Jasper? I had it for a few days at most, before being cleared by some anonymous Blogger r

by ecmanaut
I did it <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/12/styling-your-blog-post-tags-list-with.html#q1">like this</a>. I'm not going to go into any detail about tweaking that, though, or adopting it for other templates.
Backing up your Blogger blogs

Indeed, it only lists the latest 100 posts, and this post (counting a few uncompleted drafts) is number 101, just pushing my first post off the page.<br><br>Still, it is a somewhat useful default strategy for doing incremental post backups.

Well, the blog / web tech arena is a world wide topic field, I'm European myself, and I take an active interest in what happens not only (though admittedly mostly) in the English-speaking sphere. It is a good way of driving pan-Earthen traffic. ;-) Maybe
