- Three things changed re blogs in today's Old School changes.#
- When rendering a blog, an outline must have one of three types. outline, tweet, link. We may add other types, but headlines must have a type attribute with one of these values to be a blog post. #
- Every headline should have a created attribute. That value and the value of the timeZoneOffset head-level attribute are what we key on to know which day "bucket" a post belongs in.#
- You can delete days of posts at the end of your outline without them disappearing from your blog. This is an essential feature for a blog like Scripting News, that has been in the same OPML file for 4.5 years. I have to be able to remove stuff. I actually completely clear my outline at the beginning of every month after archiving it in the Scripting-News repo.#
- Use the big plus icon to create new posts and everything will work well. You can add the the attributes by hand, and I can't imagine why you'd want to do that. Of course you can add and change atts with scripts. 😄#
