marklets posted at 3 46 am by greg br comments 21 sunday april 29 2007 blog update feed and sidebar display one question that arises regularly with my blogging is the update dilemma what should to do with those little scraps of information that pertain to an earlier post this article outlines an approach to dealing with this common issue when i m following a breaking news story or there s delayed developments or even a random thought occurs i want to inform my readers in the most convenient way if it s big enough a whole new post may be warranted with a link back to the earlier post otherwise i ask myself should it be done with a comment or with a manual update to the bottom of the original post thanks to hearsay and other recent comments hacks a comment will have visibility across all blog pages informing all visitors but not subscribers if there s a lot of comments on a particular post or a high rate of commenting on the blog important updates can get lost alternatively appending an update or follow up postscript addendum errata or correction to the post may not get out to subscribers and visitors who are interested i ve tried to get the best of both worlds by using yahoo pipes to automatically generate an update feed for my blog this feed consists of the most recent updates to any post on my blog and can be offered to subscribers much like a regular post or comment feed it can also be combined with hearsay to produce a friendly sidebar panel to display the most recent updates to your site visitors the rest of this article introduces the blogger update extractor pipe explains its operation and how you can use it in your blog i conclude with some possible alternative uses and pointers on future developments first of all to get a clearer idea about the problem i m talking about and my solution have a look at this post about a court case i was following as you can see there were five updates each about two paragraphs over the twelve months after the original post this is fairly common with my posts perhaps a quarter of them feature one or more updates like this i have long adopted the convention of using update to indicate that the subsequent text has been appended to the original post i also use a named anchor eg a name update1 a on each update heading why two reasons firstly it gives me a unique url for each update ie http update1 in case someone wishes to bookmark it secondly my blog nav system picks up anchors so that users can jump up and down the page use the up down arrow in the top right to see what the update extractor pipe does is gather my blog s rss feed not atom see below and parse out the updates returning a new rss feed that consists of just the most recent updates this works because of handy feature in blogger s rss feed that is not present in atom when you update any post it automatically goes to the top of your rss feed the rest is just straightforward regular expressions in yahoo s pipes with this new feed you can offer it to readers perhaps after burning it through feedburner for stats and or display it in your blog s sidebar to let all readers know the links will point to the actual update not just the post eg http update1 now the latest blogger has support for displaying arbitrary rss feeds you can simply use that or you can create a special feed that will work with the hearsay hack to give you a bit more control over presentation if you want an rss feed of your recent updates use this url http pipes yahoo com pipes pipe run blogid xxxxxxxx _id paq35a322xgwxdemounlyq _run 1 _render rss replace xxxxxxxx with your blog s blogger id if you want a hearsay style sidebar panel of your recent updates insert this code into your blogger template sidebar div id recent updates center br br br please wait br loading updates br br img src http ghill customer netspace net au snake_transparent gif center div script type text javascript src http ghill customer netspace net au hearsay hearsay v01c js script script type text javascript hearsay http pipes yahoo com pipes pipe run blogid xxxxxxxx _id ik9feaz22xgzt18tqwiyxq _run 1 _render json recent updates true script again where xxxxxxxx is your blog s blogger id the update extractor comes in three flavours full grabs all the text following an update ie to the end of the post partial grabs just the next substantial paragraph and hearsay grabs the partial feed but prepares it for display by the hearsay script please feel free to clone and modify the pipes as needed i d appreciate it if you could put a comment here so i can have a look nb using more pipes your blog s update feed can be merged easily with your blog s comment feed if that would make more sense for your blog one downside of this solution is when there are multiple updates to a post it will only see the most recent ie physically last update this is okay for low frequency updates but completely inadequate if you put your updates at the top of the blog the problem is that the feed doesn t contain any information about the time of all the updates just the first publication timestamp and the most recent update timestamp to deal with this i m now using a new convention whereby instead of naming my anchors update1 update2 etc i m using a timestamp update1177829961000 future versions of the pipe will be able to see this and handle multiple updates per post intelligently rather than typing all that in each time i ve made a bookmarklet to help out see below for code the automatically generated update heading looks like this center a title sunday 29 april 2007 04 59 21 pm name update1177829961000 span style font weight bold update span a center this same basic approach mark out content with an anchor process the rss feed through pipes and display via json can apply to other content too for example i quote heavily from newspapers in my blog posts so i could create a feed just of quotes you could also make a feed for hat tips code links images citations headings or pretty much anything else so there you have it blog update feeds for your subscribers and visitors as usual comments criticisms and suggestions are most welcome timestamp anchor bookmarklet code javascript var insert_date new date insert_timestamp date parse insert_date insert_html center a title 22 insert_date tolocalestring 22 name 22update insert_timestamp 22 span style 22font weight bold 22 update span a center document forms stuffform htmlpostbody value insert_html void 0 update it occurs to me that maybe a live working example on this page might help this is what i mean by an update some content added some hours laters if you mouseover the update heading thingy above you ll note that it gives you the time of update at the risk of inducing recursive madness here s freshblog s update feed note that the embedded link in the feed doesn t just point to this post it points to this update via the named anchor update after noticing something screwy going on i ve modified this yahoo pipe to append the now required orderby updated to the feed fetch module props to phydeaux3 for the explanation and syntax filed in blogtech blogger hacks feeds how to posted at 8 22 am by greg br comments 18 thursday april 26 2007 buzzflux recent search queries in my ceaseless quest for content to clutter up my blog s sidebar i have found a rich new source reader search queries or buzz buzzflux allows you to retrieve and display these search queries in near real time right in your sidebar for the amazement of your readership it also signals my return to blog hacking after a six month hiatus should i do this first things first is it a good idea to display your readers live search queries on your blog on the plus side it gives readers a good idea about what kinds of content your blog has at least as far as search engines and their users are concerned in that sense search queries may be considered as micro content a bit like tags it may also help keep readers on your page especially if coupled to your built in blog search see below on the downside it may disturb some readers to see their recent queries displayed like this and some may be sensitive to the privacy side of things also you have no control over what readers type into search engines so you may be displaying potentially defamatory profane or otherwise inappropriate content on your blog i d be interested in freshblog s readers views on this one so please chime in with your own thoughts on this question how does buzzflux work most blogs worth their salt employ some sort of web stats service typically you put a bit of code into your template that phones home to a central server every time a page is hit among other things collected is the referring url which contains the search query if the reader used a search engine to find your blog i think all stats services report on search queries i use blogflux for some of my web reporting they make some though not all of their stats available via rss which is handy for hacking unfortunately the search queries page isn t one of them to get the search page info in a useful form i made a simple dapp to retrieve the target page here s the dapp once the contents are returned as a json object an array of the top search queries the buzzflux script just formats the results for display in the sidebar if there are more search queries than space permits buzzflux rotates the queries every few seconds that is it swaps in other queries at random as a nice add on readers can click on a search query of interest and my sidebar searching hack will scour your blog for that query displaying the results in your sidebar too by showing readers other people s queries and the results on the page it s hoped that it will help readers find relevant content without leaving your site nb this extension requires you to install the recursive backlinker hack check out the magic in action on the speccy scroll down to catch the buzz in the sidebar how do i install buzzflux first go and register with blogflux and install their stats counter on your blog this hack doesn t have to rely on blogflux but that s how it is at the moment next put this in the header of your blog template script type text javascript buzzflux buzz divid buzzflux limit 15 timer 2000 blogid 1413 period hour scan queries script script type text javascript src http ghill customer netspace net au buzzflux buzzflux js script the parameters are as follows divid the id of the div in your sidebar where all this content will be displayed limit the number of queries to display at any given moment timer the delay in milliseconds between rotating queries blogid the blogflux id number for your blog found in the url of your results pages period the period over which search queries are drawn allowable values are month week and hour only use hour for high traffic blogs since you want a reasonable number of queries to display ie less than five search hits an hour and it will look a little sparse scan the id of your in blog search field leave it as if you re not using the extension now edit your blog template to put this in your sidebar div id buzzflux style text align justify loading recent search queries div finally you might consider throwing some css styling in either add these to your css file or put them in the style part of your template header buzzlist height 9em overflow hidden padding 10px a buzzitem text decoration none a hover buzzitem text decoration underline where to next this opens up a range of possibilities not least is that freshtags has for some time supported tag extraction from search queries providing a means for some sort of query tag cross over another thought would be to use yahoo s pipes to merge sort and process buzz from other related or rival blogs too as alluded to before there are also pitfalls too for example who owns the copyright on a collection of search queries who s liable for publishing them of course it s anonymous to a degree without the aggregation effect of a google zeitgeist it may be more like aol s search debacle from last year filed in blogtech blogger hacks search blogsearch

announced tisp a free in home wireless broadband service it s in beta and those wishing to participate must apply today april 1 2007 installation couldn t be simpler remove the spindle of fiber optic

the gee whiz user interface seems to be waning around the blogosphere while the drag and drop interface is cool i think one of the more useful and interesting features of yahoo pipes is its ability to export data as json data yahoo makes all of its data including pipes feeds data available as json json javascript object notation is just data presented as javascript code that means you can write javascript to work directly on the data without any xmlhttprequest objects to open get and parse and because yahoo provides a nifty callback mechanism you don t run into the cross domain security issues that plague ajax developers everything runs on the client and yahoo pipes enables some truly interesting mashup possibilities that go way beyond the aggregate 200 feeds and filter on my
