Kottu 0.3

I redid www.kottu.org from scratch this weekend. The old version was designed as a personal feedreader, and it was growing hard to customize for the job it needed to do. I would like to say that Gregarius is the best personal feedreader I’ve seen, and Marco is very cool. That version is still available at kottu.org/feed/. The new version is running on WordPress, which I use for everything, including this blog. I installed the FeedWordpress plugin from RadGeek to pull in the feeds. It should work pretty much the same, just more robust, and I can control the design a lot more.
I’m going to set the thing to update every hour or so, but if you ‘ping’ kottu.org it’ll update automatically. In WordPress I set that under Options/Writing –> Update Services. The address to ping is http://kottu.org/blog/xmlrpc.php. I dunno if blogsome can do that, doesn’t really matter.
The thing is still testing, I’ll update more later. Right now my cousins are over and I have to play video games.
www.kottu.org should take you there.
