Hi guys and a happy new year. I apologize for not being more active recently but my hard drive crashed, Delphi broke on me and for a while I could not get SourceForge's CVS repository to give me back the blogBuddy code. But no worries, everything is fine now. I'm not sure if I have said enough about the blogBuddy Quick Tags. The idea with quick tags is to save a (quite a) few keystrokes when keying in posts. An idea for a Quick Tag would be e.g. <+smiley+> which would be replaced with <img src="/smiley.jpg" alt=":)"> when posted. This should come in handy for Blogger users who are used to starting their posts with some kind of a header. I initially planned on including this in blogBuddy 0.5 but after giving it some thought I think it should be pushed back to 0.6. The reason for this is party due to programming problems (we probably need regular expressions for this) and partly it's due to the fact that we need some suggestions for the tag markers (<+ and +>). I initially liked it but now I think that it may be too much. So I need your input on other potential markers (<? <% <$ probably won't work). Think outside the box on this one and remember that the tags don't necessarily have to start with '<'. So what *will* be new in version 0.5? This is my idea: * Post editing and deleting * Spelling (this is a real bonus since Blogger has lost it's spelling feature) * Some interface bugs fixed * A few minor bug fixes other than interface What do you guys think?
