PyBlosxom Plugins

These are plugins that I have created to make blogging with pyblosxom just a little bit nicer.

Native: an entry parser plugin

This plugin allows you to use a different format for your weblog entries. This format is basically a simple python file, similar to the config.py file. An example follows.

title="Example Entry"
date="2004-06-30-00-00"
body="""
<p>This is the body of the example entry.</p>
"""

HardCodeDates: a filestat plugin

This is a plugin for pyblosxom which allows you to keep a file with all your entries creation dates. This way you aren't dependant on the files timestamp. Since filestamps aren't very nice if you ever need to make a spelling correction in an entry, especially if you keep your entries in a version control system like I do.

GetStamps: a timestamp file generator

This small little program is great for those who are using both the HardCodeDates and Native pyblosxom plugins. Normally the timestamps file that HardCodeDates uses is handgenerated, which can be annoying. This script can run through all your log entries that use the Native file format and extract 'date' information if it is given. Just as is shown in the Native example above.
