Alban’s blog

We upgraded to 2.3.1 the Wordpress release used by the Tryphon blogs. The time for me to improve two/three things in this blog.

Wordpress 2.3 adds the tag support. A good way to make posts more accessible. I installed the Sensitive Tag Cloud plugin because the default tag cloud widget isn’t configurable.

The Google Sitemap plugin must be upgraded too (to prevent nice sql errors). The last releases support the tag pages and include them into the sitemap.

I discovered the Presentation/Widgets menu in Wordpress by installing this plugin :-/ So I changed few things in the right sidebar … My feed reviews is now more visible with a RSS preview widget. This selection is the “Published articles” managed by our Tiny Tiny RSS instance.

Google Reader has a search support since this morning .. may be I should .. switch to a free RSS aggregator ??

For many months, I’m using Google Reader to follow few hundred of feeds. Lifearea consumes to many CPU and memory to read so many feeds and don’t provide some useful features.

But Google Reader has many inconvenients. I prefer a free application to any no-charge service.

Until with morning, I didn’t know that a free RSS aggregator as powerful as Google Reader exists. I discovered it into Tim Samoff’s post this morning … via Google Reader

This very interesting RSS aggregator is Tiny Tiny RSS. We’ve deployed an instance on the Tryphon servers. We are already 3 testers

My OPML from .. Google Reader has been imported without problem. Very similar to Google Reader but many interesting additional details or features. To be followed …
