iRead Pod for BlogCFC
Current Version: 0.8
This pod consumes one or more user-defined feed URIs and displays a link to the feed site as well as a user-defined number of item links. With this pod, at a glance, a visitor can see not only who the feed author is, but just a little bit of what they're writing about.
Two versions of this pod are included: an inline version for traditional deployment and an AJaX version using Google's Feed API.
More information about this project, including requirements, known issues and limitations can be found in this post.
Installation
- Extract iread.*.cfm to your /includes/pods directory
- In the BlogCFC Administrator, create a new textblock named "iread" (no quotes)
- Specify any number of feeds, one per line, with each line delimited as follows: [feed title@]feed URI[@max items]
- Update /tags/layout.cfm to insert this pod in its preferred location
AJaX Version Only:
- Sign up for a Google AJaX Feed API key
- In line 91 of iread.ajax.cfm, update the script source replacing [YOUR KEY] with the key value that Google provides
Finally, reload BlogCFC with the reinit=1 flag.
Additional information can be found in the README.TXT file packaged with the pod.
I've also done a few other things that are, frankly, just too insignificant to be considered projects. To do so would imply delusions of grandeur and these efforts were raised to be humble.
Gmail Bottom Posting Greasemonkey Script
Current Version 2.0
A modification of Henrik N's indispensable script that places the cursor at the bottom of an email reply in Gmail. Henrik ceased development of the script prior to the new interface rollout and I wanted the functionality back.
Requirements
- Firefox
- The Greasemonkey extension for Firefox
Installation
Follow the link above to the script's home on userscripts.org and click the Install this script link in the upper right corner. Or you can install it right now.
GmailIt Bookmarklet
Current Version 1.0
Launches a Gmail compose window with the message subject set to the title of the page being displayed and any highlighted text added to the message body.
Installation
To install, simply drag the GmailIt link above to your bookmarks toolbar.
Limitations & Known Issues
- Highlighting text that includes "smart quotes" or other extended characters will prevent the message composition window from launching properly.
History
| v1.0 | Stripped non-ASCII characters in the title or selected text. These characters prevented the Gmail compose window from launching |
| If text is selected, added two empty lines for a custom message and added "EXCERPT:" on the line above the selected text |
GmarkIt Bookmarklet
Current Version: 1.0
Launches a dialog window containing the interface to create a new Google Bookmark. The bookmark name and URI are populated with the current pages title and URI, respectively. Any highlighted text will be added to the Notes control.

Limitations and Known Issues
