The only "300" review you need to read.
I was going to write one, but there's absolutely no need when there is this one

I imported my old advogato diary so now this blog goes back to 2000/1/17 17:19:57.
For some reason I didn't blog anything in 2002, though.
I had a few minutes waiting for yum to do its thing and added a couple of easy features:
The SilverCity-based code-block syntax highlighting directive was replaced with a version using Pygment which supports more languages and is (I think) nicer looking... and comes with several styles, as you can see above in the configuration dialog.
Other than that, I added support in the backend to:
Regenerate HTML from RST everywhere
Do the same only on items marked "dirty"
A model thingie that shows if there are posts or stories with RST errors
Some GUI love
I need to make the config dialog support more than one gadget at the same time, though ;-)
I did the tag editor:
The "Guess Tags" button in the composer uses the "Magic words" defined for each tag to give you a starting set, which you can edit later. Still has a few implementation issues (thus the taglessness of this post) but it's almost there.
Using HTMLTidy I made all the HTML validate (as transitional, at least).
Using browsercam I made sure this page works on every decent browser (it looks bad on IE 4.0, and Netscape 6):
There is a nasty problem with IE and JavaScript, where if you have a <script> that does some specific things inside of a <div> it tends to give a weird "Operation aborted" dialog after showing part of the page, and then delete what you were seing. That is a known, confirmed bug, and has been there for three major versions already.
Added a feedBox widget that can display as a sidebar any feed that uses FeedBurner's BuzzBoost (see "Latest comments" on the sidebar).
I am now toying with using FeedBurner's API to (optionally) automatically publish all the RSS feeds BartleBlog generates there, thus making this kind of thing more transparent.
