Well, I’ve written one more of the things that was on my TODO list; a mechanism for importing the blogs of all members of a given Live Journal community. I’ve tested it out on the first_robotics community and there’s now over 160 new blogs in the moderation queue. If they’re all relevant, that’ll double the number of blogs listed at FIRST Blogs (putting us over 320 blogs listed).
Not a bad showing if I do say so myself.
Admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve posted about FIRST Blogs. Most of this has been due to a lot of work and little opportunity for me to work on the site. I have, however, managed to get some changes made which will make things easier for moderators (and allows them to update existing listings in a round-about way).
If you’ve got a blog listed on FIRST Blogs and the information is incorrect, you can use the Add Your Blog link to fill in new details and once the moderator approves them your listing will be updated.
I’ve still got a significant TODO list remaining; but, with any luck reading week (Feb. 20th-24th) will provide me with ample opportunity to finish that list up (and get ahead on a number of other non-FIRST related projects).
