Adding an RSS aggregator module
July 28th, 2009 | 
Author: Since much of my work over the last few months has switched to Drupal I have taken a domain I had sitting on empty to use for drupal specific (and occasionally other) information.
I wanted posts from there to at least appear partially here through some sort of RSS plugin so I installed the FeedWordPress plugin and seems to be working well except when I went to create this post I had to disable javascript to get the editor to load. I can’t blame that on the plugin but it was working fine a few days ago.
(One problem later noticed was that if the post on drupal used a relative url ‘/what-ver’ The link here would look here for a page /what-ever I need to use the full path in the drupal post to make the link work from here)
But other than that seems to import all info from my Drupal feed quite well including tags.

Installing Wordpress
Over the past 24 hours I have tried a few blogging / CMS packages to allow Salem-News.com staff members to write more what they feal instead of just regurgitating the usual news.
While I did find several with more features than WordPress I ended up going with it as the winner. The one I really wanted was still too buggy (and is not quite blogging) and would take far more time than I have to get running properly (Will discuss in another post.) Read the rest of this entry »
