Viewing Bit.ly metadata on a post
I just added a way to autmatically add url shortening to each post. It uses the bit.ly service and their nice widget which opens a small box into the page with the shortened url ready to be posted on twitter or other services, and shows a nice set of metadata for the post itself. Here is how it looks like:
Bit.ly metadata for a post
To add it I modified the template adding this:
at the bottom of each post single-page template (single.php) and at the bottom of each post in the main index template (index.php)
A new start
It’s the first day of the year and I’m going to do try (perhaphs for the last time) to resurrect this blog, or better I’ll try to start writing for real; let’s see if I’ll be able to do it at least weekly (I was going to say daily, but that would have been a wishful thinking…).
In the meantime I’ve started to use a bit twitter ( @lmea )and that seems to offer a lot less friction to express quick ideas leaving the blog for longer and hopefully deeper topics.
