Reblog Notes Display Fixed
After flying to S.F. and back yesterday (uhg), I slept in and stayed inside today to recoup. I got a Google App Engine account a couple days ago and decided today that I was going to learn some Python and fix the reblog notes that were only partially working. I replaced the Yahoo Pipe and the (crappy) Dapper dependency, and now it works like a charm (during all my tests, at least). It only works in Firefox, but I’m fine with that. Some other people have expressed an interest in displaying notes on their Tumblrs, but my app currently requires specific html elements to exist and javascript additions in multiple locations within a template. I’ll see what I can do about simplifying that.
I’ve got some other ideas for some Tumblr services that I can’t do with any of the web services I know of due to various limitations of each. I don’t think I’ll be limited by App Engine, so I’ll see if I can get to some of them in the following week.Text posted at 00:28
