Just wondering, is anyone developing on this package? If yes, who, and where's the package to be found? :cool:
I am planning on working on my own blog again (been over a year since I posted there...) and have some ideas I'd like to implement.
Cheers,
PeterD

Hiya Peter, I have installed the blog package from the repository, but I would like to improve it. With things like URL rewriting for SEO purposes, a publish actionhandler to PING blog search sites, Per's new TAG package, setup the dashboard automatically rather than all manual. What are your ideas Peter? Warren

Well, I have these ideas: - to prevent spam (no captcha, but a combination of ajax (CPalm's idea) and a random numeric field) - improved calendar (ajaxified if possible ;) ) - I get annoyed that I need to install multiple packages to get everything to work (RSS, autoform etcetc). What are pros and cons of making 1 package for a complete blog-package and what is wanted/needed for a clean blog-install - work out an idea to easy change skin/template and perhaphs port some wordpress-skins to choose from And yes, I like your ideas too :D Peter

Really neat !
I know, BUT drawback is that you depend on a 3rd party. What if their service is unavailable for maintainance or if they chance the interface or something? Or did I understand wrong that it always contacts the defensio's website to validate the comment? My idea is to use CPalms idea of ajax-comments. As add-on, always put a hiden field on the form with a specific value (a number based on the currect datetime), this value is then validated upon posting. This way the blog is not dependend from 3rd parties.

What's wrong with Captcha? /SoerenS PS.: I'm working on a sort-of MoBlog feature (mobile bloging) that will allow you to make posts with images directly from your mobile phone. Maybe some day I'll wrap it up in a neat package, and we can look at either supplying it as an addon or part of the blog package.

A lot. To name some issues (I see them as problems): - a lot of captchas produce unreadable images, therefor it is not possible to enter the right code, good readable captchas can also be read by bots nowadays. - It is an extra field people have to enter, not a thing they want to. - It is being abused more and more (by letting people solve the captcha and then bots can abuse them) Just some thoughts of me though and if there is a solution without the use of capchtas, it certanly gets my preference.

Interesting....start a collaboration? Maybe setup a shared umbraco install for us willing to contribute to the project? Tim - how far is your development done? Could you show us what you've done so we can work from that as a base? Warren

Sure that would be great, well i made this project a couple of months ago http://www.xet360.be/ (started from the blog package) and now I'm cleaning the code of the new features and moving it to a new version of my personal blog. But a shared umbraco site would be great. I could set one up. You can always add me to msn tim_geyssens(at)hotmail.com, to talk more about it.

Doesn't have to be "fancy", doesn't have to be in English either. Don't need fancy CSS if you don't want to publish your look-and-feel. But the coding parts would be nice, since I'm impressed by your blog-site and see it as what I (and many others) really need!
