Even though it's not re­al­ly ready, I am switch­ing my blog to Bartle­Blog.

The idea is that I do blog. So I should be able to fo­cus on what's need­ful for my own kind of blog. For ex­am­ple, right now, the idea of not be­ing able to tag this post is driv­ing me nut­s.

Now that the back­end is still iffy but gen­er­ates a blog, I fi­nal­ly start­ed show­ing some love to the UI.

Here's the brand new post ed­i­tor:

The far-right two but­tons should let you choose your flickr pho­to/openo­my file re­spec­tive­ly and add the link/thumb­nail eas­i­ly (the UI is not done yet).

The for­mat to write is Re­struc­tured Text or HTML (non wysi­wyg) but oth­er things like Tex­tile or wi­ki markup should be easy to ad­d.

The main win­dow us­es a Qt mod­el to cre­ate the tree with views (right now) by date, but with al­ter­na­tive or­ga­ni­za­tions soon.

A lot of new fea­tures go­ing on, like openo­my based file up­load­ing and links that work like sim­ple rst di­rec­tives:

.. openomy:: my-file.ext

And you should get a link to the file, stored in the 1GB the openo­my guys kind­ly pro­vide.

Al­so, you can ac­tu­al­ly see how the test site looks at //ralsi­na.me/we­blog (us­ing the ex­act same da­ta as this one).

I ac­tu­al­ly up­load al­most ev­ery change I do, so it breaks of­ten ;-)

I added a Re­struc­tured Text di­rec­tive that takes as ar­gu­ment the ti­tle of one of your (my) flickr pic­tures, like this:

.. flickr:: pa120071

And pro­duces this:

Which is much nicer than my im­ages have looked for a while.

It can still be im­proved, prob­a­bly add a cap­tion, link to im­age com­ments if avail­able, etc.

The bad side is that if you don't have in­ter­net ac­cess the ren­der­ing fail­s.

Added a Ya­hoo! Ui menubar gen­er­a­tor. It turns this:

a
b
c
 1
 2
  x
  y
d

In­to this:

Or this if you are us­ing links:

Or rather in­to this, which ex­plains why it's nec­es­sary (con­sid­er this is a very sim­ple menu!):

<script type="text/javascript">
YAHOO.example.onMenuBarReady = function(p_oEvent)
{
    // Instantiate and render the menu bar

    var oMenuBar = new YAHOO.widget.MenuBar("None",
        {   autosubmenudisplay:true,
            hidedelay:750,
            lazyload:true
        });

    oMenuBar.render();
}

// Initialize and render the menu bar when it is available in the DOM
YAHOO.util.Event.onContentReady("None", YAHOO.example.onMenuBarReady);
</script>
        <div id="None" class="yuimenubar">
            <div class="bd">
                <ul class="first-of-type">
                    <li class="yuimenubaritem first-of-type">a </li>
                    <li class="yuimenubaritem">b</li>
                    <li class="yuimenubaritem"> c
                        <div id="c" class="yuimenu">
                            <div class="bd">
                                <ul>
                                    <li class="yuimenuitem"> 1</li>
                                    <li class="yuimenuitem"> 2
                                        <div id=" 2" class="yuimenu">
                                            <div class="bd">
                                                <ul class="first-of-type">
                                    <li class="yuimenuitem">  x</li>
                                    <li class="yuimenuitem">  y</li>
                                                </ul>
                                            </div>
                                        </div>
                                    </li>
                                </ul>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </li>
                    <li class="yuimenubaritem">d</li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>

Still some miss­ing fea­tures, but a neat thingie al­ready.
