Blogmarks and ReBlogging
I just posted my 1000th blogmark.
And coincidentally, this is my 1st reBlog post. What is reBlog? The page just linked has a good explanation:
A reBlog facilitates the process of filtering and republishing relevant content from many RSS feeds. reBloggers subscribe to their favorite feeds, preview the content, and select their favorite posts. These posts are automatically published through their favorite blogging software.
I already had feedonfeeds installed, so I just upgraded to the reBlog version of same scripts to gain this bridge between feedonfeeds and MovableType. Now in doing so, the really ugly scripts I had put together that made up the blogroll page became outdated and non-functional, but that's ok - it was messy and needed reDoing anyways. So if you liked the blogroll page, look for it in the coming days - hopefully a zippier version.
Alright, let's see how this whole reBlog pans out, I'll leave comments to this post with any feedack to report. (as it turns out, I removed commenting from my reblog posts, but the process went smoothly - and the app is a lot of fun to use, takes just a little getting used to).

Now I can apply reBlog specific tags to style up reBlog posts differently than other posts.

Is this entry a reBlog post.
<MTEntryIfNotReblog>

You should create some kind of permalink function on the homepage. There is no way of getting here from the homepage at the moment :-)

Well that was really slick, except previewing within reBlog added a bunch of slashes, seems like a pretty simple thing to fix.
