Other the past two days, I have added a couple of new features from the TODO list to this blog:

In the background:

  • on-the-fly conversion & saving of articles and comments from ReST resp. textile to HTML and updating it transparently.
  • Tweaked caching control headers
  • JavaScript handlers are now already initialised when the DOM is fully loaded, they don't have to wait until all images etc. have finished loading. This should make some interface objects a lot more responsive.
  • Lots of refactoring

You can find a tarball with a development snapshot here: CBlog-20061130.tar.bz2

What's next

Things I plan to do next include:

  • Clean up article and preview styling
  • Add feeds for tags and comments and featured articles
  • Meta-tags for description, author and keywords in article pages
  • trackback function
  • MAYBE: ping function

I also need to polish the distribution a little bit and test making a distributable egg. Plenty of things to do, as you can see.

[1]I have disabled actual retrieval of gravatar images atm, because gravatar.com seems to be having technical difficulties. There will be a standard icon shown instead.
