Day 3 Dev Notes

I'm up in Auckland at the moment - the girls are at a concert, and I've been hanging in the hotel room, adding a couple of new features.

  • The main feature added is RSS support which should be available here stuartm.nz/rss. This was way easier than expected since Django has this capability built in. The syndication feed framework

  • The next feature was to improve the post truncation, which suddenly got a lot more complex now that I'm using Markdown in the posts. My fix for now was to manually truncate posts by using a <!--more--> tag in the post at the point where I want the post to be truncated. And if there is no tag, then the whole post is shown. I think this will be fine for now.
