No Title

I changed my mind on this blogging tool issue. I though about it and rather than abandoning Blogmax, I am a geek so why not alter the RSS function so that it makes it to my satisfaction? I can find my way around Lisp (barely) so I went for it. First thing, I removed the call to automatically upload it (I don't use that.) Then I altered it so that rather than breaking a story on the <p> tag it breaks at the </div>. I already altered it so that my entries are bracketed by div tags anyway and use that and CSS to draw the box. By breaking this way I can have multi-paragraph entries.

Having solved that, I dug on how it found the link, and noticed that it was looking for the literal string "<a href="". Mystery solved! I added a step to skip whitespaces and newlines and voila! The combination of all this stuff was enough to make me happy so I'm no longer in the market for a different blogging tool. me so bad they are brilliant. In the latter category I would put "Blind Man's Penis," perhaps the worst song I've ever heard but so bad it is fun. Wow.
