Adding calendar navigation to your Blogger template

How annoying. For some reason, the calendar project I picked to work off has really bad, old and outdated language files for non-English languages; the Swedish language file was just as bad before I fixed mine.<br><br>If you take your trouble to edit it t

www.panoramio.com :: View topic - Photo ordering principle

I'm not sure I fully grasp the entire concept of a mini-region; is it about weighing [one of] {hundreds of pictures in one region} as high as {one single picture in another, same-size region}, when picking which pictures end up in the preview pane?

Panoramio » Blog Archive » User areas of photos

I think you might want to add a quick link to toggle the view filter back to "All photos" somewhere very visibly, perhaps in the top set of navigation links, when in "one user's photos only" mode. And perhaps add another one to quickly go to the "my photo

Blogger, know thy stats... - Freshblog

You also might be interested in reading more about <a href="http://www.petefreitag.com/item/418.cfm">how most feed reader "aggregation sites" report visitor counts</a>. Not standardized, as far as I know, but there seems to grow an ad hoc de facto standar

Tag Passing: The Story So Far - Freshblog

Greg, your ideas are much too good to be hidden buried in the deep web like this, in some un-RSS-tracked comment somewhere, with just barely a permanent URI. (John might happen to update his template to use the Blogger standard comment URI permalinks <b>#

Blogger automated trackback ping tool

Well, for once I see some actual value in the (admittedly <i>very</i> haughty) attitude "Well, too bad; no soup for you!". It's one of these things I whole-heartedly think should not need any manual tracking to pick up.<br><br><i>All</i> web pages have th

Adding calendar navigation to your Blogger template

Ah! Excellent, a bug already fixed. Or, well, already bypassable, anyway -- the <i>real</i> fix, would be to introduce the more advanced date parsing code I wrote for my <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/11/blogger-previous-and-next-date-links.ht

Dear Self,

You can't possibly realize how glad I am I <i>don't</i> see the obvious line hanging somewhere in the air here. And no, please don't spoil the moment; I think I prefer remaining blissfully ignorant. I shall ponder this no more, to stay untainted as best I

kyss mig!

Oh, you prude. :-) Kiss, kiss.

Magic Del.icio.us JSON feeds

<i>Comment threading is something the blogosphere should eventually catch onto, but almost no one does that yet. While lack of comment RSS is a pain, you'll note that I </i>do<i> have one for my site via mailbucket and a nice forwarding system on Gmail.</

Browservulsel: Custom Blogger comments form (4): spam protection

Might I suggest some smallish but useful-per-work-involved upgrades to this? (I'm actually mostly interested in the changes applied to your blog, but it would most likely be useful to the wider public adopiting your code too.)<br><br>1: Make the datestamp

Browservulsel: Form data rescue user script

It's unfortunate that this won't protect against the event of a browser crash, which is what I typically lose form content from. At least I assume it would not; the Greasemonkey config.xml is only committed to disk at successful closedown of the browser,

Category Integration Between Sites - Freshblog

Feedback on this would have become a bit unwieldy in a pop-up form at Freshblog; I took the liberty of going for a complete <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/11/magic-delicious-json-feeds.html" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> instead.

Marc has cracked the Sidebar Menu!!! - Freshblog

You definitely should, Greg; you're an excellent designer and technical writer, beside your other skills, and it would help communication a lot. :-)<br><br>I'm trying to sum up this thread in a big blog post, to get some overview on it and much for reason

Striking results

I prefer shopping for hearts and brains in the deeper text trenches of the net, myself. In that respect, I'm hardly representative for neither males nor Swedes though, I'm told. :-)

Category Integration Between Sites - Freshblog

Regarding AJAX, I've been pondering a hack that pulls in posts from your own blog into something like a post archive, but it has the drawback on being rather reliant on your post template to work well. (Since you have to load, parse and splice the content

Category Integration Between Sites - Freshblog

You're very welcome, Greg; I'm much in favour of all of my improvements / tweaks going back into your mainline code, should you want them there.<br><br>I would only add support for picking up tags from "known" referrer tag schemes (scraping relevant bits

Browservulsel: Using CSS to display accesskeys

Nifty; thanks for passing on the tip; I didn't know about attr(), either.
