  • 5 Tips To Get Your Feed To Validate

    08.11.07 @ 14.44 from   Nerstu.se

    I had some issues with getting my sweetcron feed to validate. Foremost the entries from Twitter made the validator go red. Here are some things I learned:

    1. I often post links with Twitter and HTML aren't allowed in RSS unless it's escaped. Sweetcron escapes the content by default, but make sure to change the title aswell, like this:

      <title><![CDATA[<?php echo $item->get_title()?>]]></title>
      
    2. Add a header in the top of rss_feed.php to tell your readers RSS readers to read your feed the right way:

      <?php header('Content-type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8'); ?>
      
    3. Apply correct RSS tag:

      <rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
      
    4. Write your name in addition to e-mail in the webMaster tag:

      <webMaster><?php echo $this->config->item('admin_email')?> 
      (Name Surname)</webMaster>
      
    5. Add a link to your feed just before the channel tag closes:

      <atom:link href="http://link.to.your.sweetcron/feed/" rel="self" 
      type="application/rss+xml" />

  • Top 5 Markdown syntax

    08.10.08 @ 09.39 from   Nerstu.se

    Sweetcron (that is the underlying engine of this site) is foremost about fetching photos, videos, bookmarks and tweets from various places and displaying them at one single spot in a nice way. That is it's strength and that's what you're seeing and will be seeing mostly on this site.

    But it also do simple but highly efficient blogging. No rich-text extravaganza or fancy java image uploader just a straight forward form and a note in the right column;

    Shorthand
    The blog post content area supports the Markdown method of shorthand markup.

    Markdown is a markup language for text based content, with email like formatting. It's not a replacement for HTML, it rather puts it's focus on readability and ease of use when and where HTML isn't desirable.

    Here's my top 5 when it comes to Markdown syntax:

    1. Bold

      __Bold__
      **Bold**
      
    2. Italic

      *Italic*
      _Italic_
      
    3. Blockquote

      >Blockquote
      
    4. Code

          Code (A tab or four spaces)
      
    5. Link

      [Link](#Destination 'Title')
      

    There are of course a lot of other stuff you can do with Markdown markup, but these are my favourites so far. Which are yours?
