Features?
I'm working on quite a few features on the blog, but what do you, the people of the internet, feel a blog really needs? What would make you go "Honey?!?! Can you get the checkbook?". Inquiring minds want to know...
RSS Feeds
I finally got my act together and finished up the RSS feed for the blog. Thanks to Joel for pointing out that I didn't set my content type for the .asp page, so IE wasn't rendering it as XML.
As far as the blog application goes in regards to the RSS feed, you can set quite a few options, including the max number of posts to include, the number of days to include, copyright and description information and even the number of words to pull from the descriptions. The number of words also skips over line breaks and tags, so images and links won't be included in the descriptions.
Pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. So now I have to wonder... who would repurpose my content. I need to set it up so that you can choose individual categories next, so people can repurpose VBScript topics without getting all of my (all too frequent) ramblings.
Search repaired
I finally got around to fixing my search highlighting. It was wrapping phrases inside HTML tags (such as links) with the highlighting tags, breaking links and causing general mayhem. All fixed now though, only phrases outside of a tag are highlighted, even though phrases inside tags are searched.
