Private Posts in RSS

fil — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 19:34:05 +0000

You can now see links to my private posts in your RSS reader (assuming it supports HTTP authentication — this varies by feed reader).

The feed URL is: http://fortes.com/feed?http_auth=yes (alternatively: http://fortes.com/life/feed?http_auth=yes if you don’t want to see anything but the personal posts)

Your reader should prompt you for your user name and password. Use the same one you would use to log in.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Do you want RSS for private posts?

Does any one reading this want me to enable private posts within the RSS feed? I can make it happen, but it’ll take a little bit of work and debugging (unfortunately, I cannot accomplish everything within a Wordpress plugin). I need to know if anyone would actually use this functionality before implementing it.

Some notes:

Your aggregator must support HTTP authentication: The popular ones do
Private posts will not contain full content: They’ll only contain the title of the post. You’ll have to visit the site (and be logged in) to read the post

New and Improved?

It wasn’t worth the wait, but the new fortes.com has finally arrived. Please, make yourself at home.

I’m trying to kick my perfectionist’s paralyzation, so not everything here is complete … more with time.

Slowly but surely

Things are starting to look a little better around here. Design and readibility has improved from horrendous to ugly. I’ll fix that all later.

Astute readers may notice this page now sports login and password fields. Why is having an account cool?

Private Content: Many posts are not visible unless you’re logged in; even if you’re logged in, some posts are still hidden from you as well (depending on how private the subject matter is). Some posts are only visible to me (only the funny ones).
Non-Anonymous Comments: This isn’t really that cool.
(Under Debate) Posting: Some users may be allowed to post links, etc

Email me and I will set you up with an account. If you don’t know my email, then you don’t deserve an account at this time (I’m still working out the kinks).

Coming soon:

RSS/Atom feeds with comments: Because I would demand it from others
Photos: I want to have these working before I leave for Portugal in two weeks

Rebirth

Yes, yes, finally. The webpage has returned, I manage to (kinda) keep my word.

It’ll be a little while before I get everything running smoothly (along with a design that doesn’t suck), so bear with me here.

Here is what is in store in the near future:

Photos: Yes, long awaited, they’ll finally come back, better than ever (by “ever” I mean “non-existant”)
User Registration: Most content will not be visible unless you have been given an account and are logged in. My Beanie Baby fetish must remain secret.
Non-Ugly Design: Something readable, perhaps.
