So either Bloglines changed its OPML structure, or my code was really weak sauce. Either way, what wasn’t working earlier today is now working like a champ, and after spending 30 minutes fussing around with PHP, I need to go take a shower. Ugh.
Anyhoo, BloglinesReader v0.2 has some bug fixes, added respect for escaping HTML entities, plus some other things I’ve probably totally forgotten about.
Comments OffI’m pleased to announce the first release of BloglinesReader, a new WordPress plugin. It allows you to display your Bloglines feeds on your WordPress blog, formatted exactly how you want them. It also caches that data, so it doesn’t take forever to display your page (and both your bandwidth quota and the Bloglines servers stay safe).
Check it out: BloglinesReader v0.1
A lot of credit goes to my friend, Peter Dolan, who worked on this plugin first and talked me down from making it Ajax-y (”Why does it need Ajax?” “Well… umm… man, just check out Dojo!” “Yeah, but why does it need Ajax?”). He’d be the one making this plugin, but he’s got a day job.
