Out with the old, in with the new
Tuesday | November 4, 2008 | 10:48 pm
I’ll avoid the temptation to draw any parallels with the incoming vote tallies, but it’s time to get rid of one ancient, messed up, inadequate… plugin and usher in a new era… of posting delicious.com bookmarks to the site.
Say goodbye to WordPre.cio.us (neé delicious-to-WordPress aka del2wp), and hello to Postalicious.
I’ve been running on the site for the last few months, and it’s just great. It does everything WordPre.cio.us did and a whole lot more.
Aside: I’ve also cleaned up a bunch of ancient links on the site to my old Web “clips” and print clips (I believe I’ve now been away from Quark/InDesign longer than I ever actually used them), and I’m redirecting my resumé to my LinkedIn Profile and in act of typography nerddom I’ve installed wp-hyphenate.

WordPre.cio.us compatible with WP 2.0 (updated)
Tuesday | February 14, 2006 | 12:19 am
But apparently, my copy of WP-Touched isn’t. I bet there’s an update, but I forgot to check before editing a post with it… which promptly ate my previous post.
Here’s the long and short of it… WordPre.cio.us is compatible with WP 2.0/2.01. Enjoy WP 2.0 goodness along with WordPre.cio.us tastiness.

WordPre.cio.us compatible with WordPress 2.01
Monday | February 13, 2006 | 12:28 pm
Real life has prevented me from playing with the WordPress 2.01 upgrade until recently.
I’m proud to report that WordPre.cio.us 1.0 works with WP 2.01 just fine.
I am working on an upgrade that’ll bundle it as a WP plugin, for folks who like that sort of thing, and I might even try out SimplePie’s RSS parsing, but who knows.

Wordpre.cio.us hits 1.0
Friday | July 8, 2005 | 4:30 pm
It’s finally happened!
WordPre.cio.us has hit 1.0!
The new version is compatible/tested against 1.5.1.3 and is available on my projects page.
Plus I’ve got a fancy official SVN repository with wp-plugins.org and a wiki page on the site.

Need help fixing WordPre.cio.us
Monday | March 14, 2005 | 11:43 am
This is a call to all those brave WordPre.cio.us beta testers.
I’m having trouble finding the breakdown with regards to the date of the entries. In theory, it’s going to be posted at the date/time that your blogmark itself has in del.icio.us. For many users, this seems to be the case, but some are seeing problems where the date is off in their WordPress blog.
So can anyone with the problem please send me an e-mail to del2wp at heisel dot org with the following information:
A link to a page on your Web host that has the output of your php_info() function.
The RSS URL you’re using in your WordPre.cio.us installation. (The $rss_url in the config section.)
The times that your last few blogmarks should be posted at, and the time they were posted at. Be sure to include the title of the blogmark along with those times so I can correlate them.
I’m also releasing some sample template code and CSS to achieve the presentation that I’ve got here on heisel.org, you can find it on the projects page. The template code assumes that you’re filing your posts under a category called ‘Blogmarks’, if not then you’ll need to hack the code accordingly…

WordPre.cio.us update
Sunday | March 6, 2005 | 9:00 am
Several folks have reported getting errors when WordPre.cio.us makes a call to parse_w3cdtf().
That function should be a part of WordPress 1.5’s install, located in wp-includes/rss-functions.php.
It should get pulled into the namespace when your wp-config.php is pulled in, but folks with proper paths to their wp-config are still getting errors.
So I’ve updated the release to include that parse_w3cdtf() function in del2wp.lib.php. You can get this updated version at my projects page
Update: I changed the name of the function to cmh_parse_w3cdtf() and changed all references to it in the latest build, so that folks without the problem won’t have name conflicts.
Update again: Per John’s suggestion, you can now set the ping and comment status to either ‘open’ or ‘closed’ when configuring del2wp.php. It’s lines 13 and 14 in the file. You can get the updated release at my projects page.
Why not again: I’m looking for some help from folks experiencing the time-shift problem with their blogmarks…

Announcing WordPre.cio.us
Wednesday | March 2, 2005 | 5:32 pm
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.
Once more for shits and giggles: I’ve provided some of the theme code I use to display my blogmarks.
Why not again: I’m looking for some help from folks experiencing the time-shift problem with their blogmarks…
