I wrote a small PHP application several months ago that uses the WordPress XMLRPC library to synchronize two separate WordPress blogs. I have a general "RPCRequest" function that packages the request, sends it, and returns the server response, and I have several more specific functions that customize the type of request that is sent. I...
I'm currently using Wordpress to run my website. However, with each new release I become more concerned with software bloat and the convoluted table structures used to store my data. Maybe this is a fruitless pursuit. Features are always added to blogging software until it claims to be a CMS--and at that point your data is probably st...
I've been blogging for about a year now. After a month I realized that I wasn't a huge fan of wysiwyg editors provided by blogger and typepad. Since then I've been using Windows Live Writer for authoring content and Google Prettify for syntax highlighting. Are there any great tools that I'm missing out on? My ideal tools would: Supp...
So I was just reading this question and several people suggest starting a blog as a good way to help yourself and others growing your programming knowledge.

On my blog I use some CSS classes which are defined in my stylesheet, but in RSS readers those styles don't show up. I had been searching for class="whatever" and replacing with style="something: something;". But this means whenever I modify my CSS I need to modify my RSS-generating code too, and it doesn't work for a tag which belongs...
I'm writing by own blogging engine in PHP with a MYSQL backend database. MY question is: How would you go about making user comments and blog posts include newlines wherever they are appropriate? For example, if a user hits the return key in the message/comments box how would this translate into a new line that would show in the browser...
I'm beginning work on a project that will access a Drupal site to create (and eventually edit) nodes on the site, via the XML-RPC facility and BlogAPI module shipped with Drupal. This includes file uploading, as the project is to allow people to upload pictures en mass to a Drupal site with minimal ado. What I'd like to know is if there...
I have implemented hAtom microformat on my blog. At least, I think I have, but I can't find any validator (or any software that uses hAtom) in order to determine if I have done this correctly. A Google search for "hatom validator" currently doesn't return anything useful. Does anyone know of a way to confirm that it is implemented cor...
I have added author pages to my company blog recently. Although I've no trouble pulling through relevant fields to populate the page - e.g. Author Name, User-profile, etc, I would really like to be able to add a small amount of html to the user-profile. Currently the whole thing is just dumped onto the author profile page - you can view ...
After reading about code reviews on the web I started to wonder, are there any sites or communities out there that provide reviews of documentation and technical articles? When working as the only author on a (hobby/open source) project or a (blog) article, I often wish I had someone to read over my work and provide some feedback. This...
