Starting This Blog Up – Part 1
A few quick notes on trying to start a blog for the umpteenth time..
My plan was to put something (anything) on my .com namesake. I have put several quick-setups in place, most are just WordPress experiments with some custom attempts. Nothing panned.
On the latest round I had a few defined objectives. 1) I wanted to set up just one page. 2) Lots of feeds (See the Johngraph) 3) Ties into just one or two apps for content gen.
My original plan was going to be a Tumblr plugin that would generate WP posts, so I could just run everything through my Tumblr account. No plugin like that exists, so I had to suffice for a widget. And I have to say Tumblr is a great widget.
Done.
But now we have the hard part, actually filling this with *something*… media files from mobile apping, check-ins, tweets, and ..oh yea, WordPress blog posts. I have to get on my igame here.
I installed a really good app called EverPress.. It automatically passes over the content of public notebooks and saves it as a draft in WP. I could save an article, pass it over as a WP draft and write, in essence, an editorial on it.
A few limitations are:
- It shrinks pictures down from their orig size, which is captured by the Evernote feed.
- The content drops out at 1024 characters. (Huge limitation)
- Ref URL isn’t brought over with the feed, so it has to be captured manually.
Even with these drawbacks, it is still a very effective method to pushing snippet content to WP for ideas on articles. (Evernote itself is such a good tool for capturing online content)
