I want to do a river for #occupywallst news.

Not just what's happening in NY, but all over the country. If corporate media isn't going to be there, and why should they, we can do a better job of news-distributing ourselves.

I already have a couple of feeds. Looking for more.

I strongly believe we have to build networks that are not on the corporate blogging silos. Quite an irony, and something that probably isn't a good idea long-term, even medium-term.

I will host the river myself, but the data will be open, as will the feed list.

Okay folks I know it looks crummy, but it's a start.

I just smooshed together Scripting2, the software I use to edit this site, with the Bootstrap toolkit. So now, all the tricks I can do in the World Outline also work here. So for example, I can give you the lyrics of a song, when I'm talking about it.

Or if I want to give extra emphasis to a motto, I can do that too.

Still diggin!

Or add a semi-sarcastic comment to something here. Self-deprecating, of course.

All this with all the usual wit, mirth and irascibility Scripting News is famous for!

PS: I promise to use these sparingly.

The World Outline is an outline that's displayed in a web browser.

It can include other outlines, which is where the world part comes from. An inclusion is the equivalent of a link in HTML. The format of the World Outline is OPML.

The user gets to edit the template for their outline, giving full control over the look of the site. I want to embrace designers in the community.

I've been using Bootstrap for my user interface work. So it made sense to connect the outline templates with Bootstrap. Giving you an easy relatively user-oriented environment for doing stuff that Bootstrap can do. Fun!

The first three little projects I did are: twipsies, labels and popovers.

Hope you like!
