More on sub-text Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I see the value in sub-text but I can't shake this feeling it has more potential in some application that nobody has thought of yet.

I noticed something new about it today (This isn't the breakthough. It likely won't be I who thinks up the breakthrough!) It's in Dave's The Value of Working Together, posted this morning, his first post that uses sub-text since I tried it out and tried to think what I would use it for.

Only the first paragraph of the sub-text section shows up in the feed. For those lingering few publishers who don't want to give away the full text in its RSS, this would be a way to save little bits of content for people who visit the site directly.

For all I know Dave didn't intend to hold back any part of his post from the feed.

Trying a link blog post Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Scripting News: Scripting2 change notes Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Now it works, with the v.29a update.

--- Below notes from v.29

Maybe it's not quite ready. I get:

500 Server Error

Can't compile this script because of a syntax error.

in Chrome and Firefox when I am on a web page I want to link to and hit the bookmarklet.

The command to make the post a live-blog post in the right-click menu was there and must have worked because when I right click on the title node again the option becomes "not live-blog."

The bookmarklet link on the changes page, too, behaved as it was expected to and showed up in my favorites toolbar when I dragged it there in both browers.

Later: I tried again after learning I had been reinstalling the scripting 2 tool from the wrong menu. Same error message.
