Announcing WordPre.cio.us
As promised, I’ve released my custom script that imports del.icio.us bookmarks into your WordPress blog.
Unlike other plugins, which display your bookmarks as a sidebar element, del.icio.us-to-WordPressWordPre.cio.us actually imports them as entries in your blog, so you can have some Kottke-style inline remaindered links.
It relies on MagpieRSS to parse any of your del.icio.us RSS feeds, which means you can control what bookmarks get imported (some of the other plugins just yank in all your bookmarks). I, for example, only pull in entries tagged with blogmarks.
The motivation behind this script was two-fold:
- I liked Kottke’s way of presenting links, and I couldn’t find anything like that for WordPress.
- I thought it silly to have to post a blogmark in both WordPress and in del.icio.us.
The plugin creates a sane entry body out of each of your bookmarks/entries, plus it also attaches a blogmark_url and blogmark_description custom field to each post, so you can do all sorts of groovy things with your data.
The script both inserts, and updates bookmarks from your del.icio.us RSS feed, so del.icio.us essentially becomes my blogmark posting interface, which I think is cool.
The script is still in beta, seeing as I’m the only one using it at the moment, so please send any feedback or troubles you might have to del2wp at heisel dot org.
So, without further ado, I give you del.icio.us-to-WordPressWordPre.cio.us.
P.S. I’m all for a much cooler name, send suggestions to the same e-mail address or add it in a comment. Thanks to Michael Caldwell for this project’s name: WordPre.cio.us.
Update: I fixed the broken download link on the projects page.
Update again: The script is only for WordPress 1.5.
One more time: I just added a zip version of the script, for those without tar.gz capability.
Why not again: I’m looking for some help from folks experiencing the time-shift problem with their blogmarks…
Last time: If you’d like to keep up with work on WordPre.cio.us then subscribe to it’s RSS feed
