c0demonkey's update pt. deux

Are post labels really in the body of Blogger Beta posts? For reals in there, so Technorati can find them? Share your div class notes.

Does the wonky Beta RSS feed just make the problem worse? We’ll try to fix what we might be able to by doing the manual, auto-discovery mod that Feedburner suggests and which worked just dandy until, um, you know. No guarantees.

Pose these and even more chunky questions to the appropriate support contact. In the meantime, don’t click that “Older Posts” link down there and watch where you step if you do.

c0demonkey's update

Our beloved tag/label cloud is back home courtesy of phydeaux3, so we say goodbye to Ramani's multi-form label selector. It was fun while it lasted, but now it's just kinda over. Of course the ultimate goal here is to just ease the tag cloud into Ramani's code and keep them both around, with everybody playing well together, for a long, long time. Is that so much to ask?

Next, get the tag search output pages back from the inner circle of fug and looking more like our d2b category output used to. Then hook up the post footer with some social bookmarking links.

Figure out why the Blogger Beta Atom feed can't count to 5 (or 4 or 2) when we're trying to use it as a "Recent Posts" widget.

We tried setting the thing to show only two items, then one, and still got three in the preview. But it was working OK day before yesterday, LOL! Feedburner can find a Blogger Beta feed just fine; Blogger Beta can't really seem to find its own with both hands.

Fix the errors that Feed Validator says have cropped up since the move, but it's doubtful that an "onblur" attribute in the description and/content is something we can fix from here. That's a Blogger posting interface, picture uploader thang.

Then wait patiently and quietly for an update to Blogjet or Performancing. Otherwise, we're good to go. We just need you from time to time.

Inch by inch

We're recovering from the beta upgrade beat-down thanks to some sweet Labor Day effort by Ramani over at Hackosphere. Behold, in the sidebar, the Tag View Options item--with drop-down menu and cloud. Yeah, our own raggedy little c0demonkey had to pick at it a bit (zit/scab freak...), but seeing as this is the first 3rd-party hack in full-frontal widget form, the irresistibility factor was sky high. Top o' the world, baby.

Sad to say the flash version of our Flickr badge is still face down. If any of you get a Flickr flash badge added as some kinda page element, html/js or otherwise, do hit us up via PFW's box.

Greener grass

We took inventory after the move and,

• our only-when-you-needed-it nav bar is now permanently out on front street,
• Beta Blogger sends posts from our favorite 3rd-party blogging tool into the big sphere of nowhere yet never returns an error message. Note the time in the Blogjet Recent Posts list below as fetched from the Blogger servers, then the time on this do-over in the Blogger posting interface, which reeks just as much tomorrow as it did the first time we tried it...)
  
  
  
  
• and Lawd have mercy the tightest template hack there is was for Blogger categories has gone down faster than Colin Farrell’s last date.
  

Yup, PFW traded the true beauty of what really works like a dream for just a quick peek at something shiny and new and “better.” Ultimately turned out to be 10 minutes of Blogpress-ville and 3 rounds of virgin mojitos. Damn those marketing gurus. We feel so used and dirty. phydeaux3 promises to make some of it all better and take away the pain soon, really soon. Meanwhile we’re holed up at the HQ just cleaning skull blood off the brick wall.
