HOWTO: Displaying Blogger feeds with Python

This first HOWTO is going to cover how I did the basic structure of the posts section of gPowered: pulling from blogger. The main functions we'll need are to show a range of posts, a single post, and a function to get the total number of posts that are in the blog. The reason I try to get the total number is so the different pages can be bookmarkable. When retrieving a GData feed from blogger. Entry 1 in the feed is going to be the newest post so there is no 'id' that is going to be static, so we'll do a…

HOWTO: Displaying Blogger feeds with PHP

This HOWTO is going to follow the basic structure of the Python one. To start out you'll have to grab the Zend Google data Client Library and then set the include_path so you can use it We then import the parts the we'll need: One of the first things we're going to have to do is authenticate with google services.

HOWTO: Getting a list of post titles from blogger (Python)

This will be a quick one on how to pull the titles from your blog. I'm using it to Lists the posts I have available on gPowered.net. Firstly we'll set up our imports and call to the blogger service. For this query we're going to use the summary feed because all we really need for this is the titles, not the full posts: Then I just do a little counting so I can use the links on my site. All the information we need is in feed.entry

Using Blogger and Feedburner Sitemaps in Webmaster Tools

Blogger, good. FeedBurner, good. Google Webmaster tools, good. The 3 working together? A little more difficult. A few months ago blogger added support to have FeedBurner + blogger integration. No more editing template code, just change a setting in blogger, and viola, FeedBurner will track all your subscribers. However, this method did not go over so well with Google Webmaster Tools. Previously you could just add your blog's feed as a sitemap for you blog and the Google Bot would have no problem. If you…

October Speedlinking

I haven't been able to post as often or as in depth as I'd like to have this past month. I chalk it up mostly to work, we all love 12 hour days right? But now that sign-off has passed and our last release of 2007 is calmly approaching (its on Friday), things have settled down a bit. Below are some great links from October, most of which I wanted to mention at some point and haven't gotten a chance to until now. Enjoy. The JavaScript Library for Google Calendar was released. This allows for authenticated…

Blogger adds bloggroll

[Blogger](http://buzz.blogger.com/2008/04/blog-list-scheduled-post-publishing- on.html) in draft added 2 new features today: a blogroll page element, and post scheduling. Post scheduling is pretty useful, you can write up your post, set the time (in the future) that you want it to post, and Blogger will do it automatically. The second feature, a blogroll, I would like a lot more if it was done better. The main thing I like about it is that it integrates with Google Reader so if I'm linking to my friend's…

gpowered.net is now timbroder.com

Hi all, some of you may have noticed this site is no longer on the gpowered.net domain.  I've been wanting to move onto wordpress for a while now and also do some additional writing beyond code stuffs which would be outside of the scope of gpowered.  I also unfortunately (or fortunately because I love my job) don't have as much time as I used to to research and post how to's.  Heavy django and magento going on lately, I'll try to post about those. There are two RSS links at the top, RSS has everything on…
