Creating the OPML blogroll story

Thu, 06 Mar 2003 11:55:44 GMT

This is the screen when creating the OPML blogroll.

That's your cloud after the new message.

See the similarities? This is your cloud page with the new posting tacked to the top.

your weblog is your desktop

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

You always see everything you post in your weblog on your desktop. Ok, it doesn't look exactly like the outside, the cloud, but it's similar enough.

post an item from a newsfeed

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

After clicking the "blog" icon on an item in your newsfeeds, you can add a comment and post your own entry, based on this item.

stories are shown as the user will see them

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

Same as with the weblog, after editing the story you are shown the rendered output on your desktop.

Now write some essay

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

With some stupid content. Yours could be more interesting ...

after adding the macro

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

After adding your macro, you usually see this screen - your parsed and added macro source and the edit box below. Sometimes you see a traceback with an error message. Better fix the error, if that happens.

lets write our first macro

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

This shows how to add a first macro to the system. This isn't something complicated, but you need to know python for it.

This will be the admin user

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

This will be an user that is allowed to make changes to the system from remote places. You need to enable remote access in your configuration, too.

add a user for remote access

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

If you want to access your machine from the outside, add a user that has the needed rights.

if you like XML-RPC or SOAP

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

If you like to write external scripts or hook up external tools, enable XMLRPC and SOAP first.

Now you have shortcuts

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

Enter the shortcut in quotes (including the quotes) in the body of a posting or a story, and it will be expanded. Smileys are already there, as are some links to external places.

no shortcuts yet

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

Shortcuts are quite empty, too, so fill in defaults. This just requires one click.

your first newsfeed with postings

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

This is what is new at the python desktop server weblog.

the feed is added

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 14:21:52 GMT

Now you have a newsfeed, now look at the postings in it next.
