Progress You Can See

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

For a few weeks now, I’ve been playing with Movable Type, porting my as-yet-unfinished Friends plugin from WordPress to MT. I’ve been interested in what’s happening in the MT development world for a while now, and this seemed a good way to find out.

Progress has been… stuttering. But I’ve got the basics in place - Editing and listing your contacts, and last night I got the template tags done so that I could build a basic blogroll widget (with XFN and hCard, oh my!).

I recorded another short (6 min) podcast today on the way home from work, blathering on about Action Streams, Stephen Weber, DiSo, Movable Type, and WordPress!

Action Streaming

In another frenetic burst of coding, the prolific Stephen Weber ported MT’s Action Streams plugin to PHP, then to Wordpress. Examples:

It uses the same YAML config that the MT plugin does, witha few caveats, but this is an awesome start!
