Choose the name you like best.

Currently I run three (soon to be four) blazeblogger sites.

www.paraplegicracehorse.net  <-- my "home" site serving as sort of hub for 
everything else
blog.paraplegicracehorse.net  <-- a blog for items of no particular interest 
expressed elsewhere
boats.paraplegicracehorse.net  <-- my boating adventures.
games.paraplegicracehorse.net  <-- soon to host reviews of games and some play 
reports

It would be so nice to be able to manage everything conveniently from one blaze 
repository and separate everything out by topic but retain the same theme, 
tags, etc. throughout.

Well, I am not really sure, if that's BlazeBlogger's fault. The point is,
that when I try to embed a YouTube video by inserting it's code, the size
of the widget is too big and usually covers the index sidebar on the right.
I mean, the YouTube widget (and any other widget) should probably be sized
accordingly to the layout.

I believe that probably one could read more about YouTube's embedding
options (there should be an option for defining the widget's size), but may
be BlazeBlogger could do this automatically?

With missing or broken link to html theme in .blaze/theme do a blaze-make. Note 
in terminal output a lack of error. Note size of generated index.html.

Hello,

I noticed the posts are trimmed to 500 characters in the RSS feed. I have 
several issues with it:

- it is hardcoded (and not documented)
- it trims in the middle of words
- in RSS feeders it can be annoying to *always* click the "more" link

May I suggest this to be dropped (or at least configurable, with 0 = infinite 
or similar), the poster can always use <!-- break --> if he really wants to 
split his post.


Regards,
Andrei

Or in other words, make it possible to produce valid XHTML.

Implement a script to upload the blog to a remote server via FTP.

Gentoo bug report https://bugs.gentoo.org/417953

General problem description https://bugs.gentoo.org/417717

 usability  : inform users about the meaning of a link.

ex. <h2 class="post"><a href="title" rel="permalink">title</a></h2>
ex. <a href="index2" rel="next post"> => </a>

create 'rel' attribute for links produce by blazeblogger engine. 
see.http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#adef-rel
 + language config & improvement.

Maby it is good idea to generate time for blog post, because it is very useful, 
when you write more than 1 post per day..

in rss : %root% and placeholders are not parsed and should be replace with
the 'baseurl'

ex. <img align="middle" src="%ROOT%media/img.jpg" border="0" alt=""/>

With the VectorLover theme, I noticed blazeblogger doesn't create the 'current' 
(page) id in the list of pages it generates for the navigation bar. Therefore, 
the white box around the current page is not displayed:

http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/790/vectorloverscreenshot.png

See my quick&dirty fix for this at the pastebin url below. For me, it works 
quite well, but you'll know how to add this feature more appropriately ;-)

http://pastebin.com/KHhW6AW5

If specified, it should be displayed under blog posts indstead of the full
name, while keeping the full name in the copyright notice at the same time.

On Slackware Linux, the latest blaze-make utility fails with the following 
error message:

  Missing feed.baseurl option. Skipping the RSS feed creation.
  blaze-make: Creating `': mkdir : No such file or directory at /usr/
local/bin/blaze-make line 979

When running blaze-make after generating one or more pages, if authors line is 
not manually added to [each] page in the head, a complaint is sent to stdout. 
This isn't really a big deal because it defaults to the author in config, but 
the complaint is annoying.

I suggest to add some kind of search fiel to default blazeblogger template - 
something like custom google search on web page.

Please. add ability to control count of rss feed items in blazeblogger config 
file. It is normal that blazeblogger default feed is only for 10 items, but 
maby user want to add for 2 feed links, for example: last items feed and full 
feed (all blog posts). 

Is it possible?

Since the default theme contains a hard-coded HTML 4.01 Strict document type 
specification, changing the core.doctype option causes BlazeBlogger to produce 
invalid output. This should not happen, and BlazeBlogger should always produce 
a valid output.

It should be possible for blaze-make to re-run selected processor on every
single page or post.

Check documentation for newly added / changed command-line options and
incorporate them to the Quick Reference Card.

Well, not may of you will ever run into this problem, but I did. I am running 
blazeblogger on 
OpenBSD, and since I write in Russian (and OpenBSD doesn't support UTF-8), I 
use KOI8-R. 
So the point is that even after I set the whole blog to KOI8-R, the RSS stream 
will be displayed 
anywhere (Google Reader, etc) in UTF-8, which will result in everything being 
messed up. 
Which is caused by the fact that the blaze-make.pl doesn't have any strings in 
sub 
generate_rss to define the encoding of the stream.

Sorry, but I am no coder, so I can't provide a fix myself, but I guess, it's as 
precise as it gets. 
Here is my RSS stream for example.

http://devio.us/~ilembitov/index.rss

Well, not exactly add it to BlazeBlogger. I realise, that comments would
require some kind of DB. So probably what is needed, is a tested 3rd party
solution and a HOWTO in the guide.

It might confuse some editors, resulting in improper syntax highlighting.

It should be possible to select different editor than specified in the
configuration.

Maybe not a priority, we can "fake" a draft command, using ''blaze-add 
draft.txt''

Please, make better archives index, something like here, in nanoblogger: 

http://nanoblogger.sourceforge.net/archives/2010/

Write an easily accessible user guide for BlazeBlogger.

Can we have a flag for --pages which do not appear in the default navigation 
menu? This would be useful for custom error pages, in particular, and somewhat 
less useful for sub-pages.

all is in the title.

Can I greet my visitors with a --page instead of the blog list?

Translated from english to brazilian portuguese.

Only one thing - blazeblogger doesn't support russian titles in posts. After 
conversation on IRC I believe, you can fix this ;)

This is to improve the SEO of the BlazeBlogger-powered websites.

Please look at feed validator output:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://madsanity.ho.ua/index.rss

Found another small glitch. I guess the file was previously called 
'blazeblogger' but it's now installed as 'blaze' so 'blaze man' with no 
additional args fails.

Currently, a date of publishing is always rendered in the YYYY-MM-DD form. It 
would be nice to provide a way to customize it.

It would be nice to have this, wouldn't it?

Since version 2.0, bash-completion uses new autoloading code that requires 
completion file names to match completed commands. Currently the completion is 
installed as 'blazeblogger' which doesn't match this layout.

Instead, the completion file should be installed as 'blaze' (to match the 
'blaze' command), and have extra symlinks for the remaining commands created, 
i.e.:

  blaze-init -> blaze
  blaze-config -> blaze
  ...

Additionally, after doing this change it may be desired to set the default 
installation directory for completions to 
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions or -- preferably -- use pkg-config to 
obtain the appropriate path.

Gentoo bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481164

Check documentation for newly added / changed command-line options and
incorporate them to the bash completion file.

As installing everything without root privileges results in an error, maybe 
text something like the attached would be nice? Maybe some additional text 
about sourcing the completion file manually could also be included.

It will be great to have command for checking and showing all blog posts 
without tags, or keywords...

I think, blazeblogger must clean old posts without urls, when new one with urls 
are already created:

[korg@archlinux 07]$ pwd

[korg@archlinux 07]$ ls
1                4--markdown

3                index.html
3-tags-and-tags
[korg@archlinux 07]$

Posts without normal url are old

So far, blaze-gallery creates thumbnails in PNG. This behaviour is fine
with default dimensions, but when larger images are required, the size of
produced files is usually too large, which is obviously wrong.

aka "if you like it you should like this."
 - <a>related post 1</a>
 - <a>related post 2</a>

* the number of max items should be configured in the 'config' file
* The list should be sorted by the number of tags in common
  ex.  - <a>related post 1</a> (3 tags in commom)
       - <a>related post 1</a> (2 tags in commom)

Please, check default.css to fix warnings in css file.
For now CSS lint found 0 errors and 73 warnings, and it gives description on 
how to fix them.

When visitor come to main blog page - "Home" link works. When visitor reading 
any post on blog - link "Home" works, but when visitor moves to next blogposts 
page (for example http://madsanity.ho.ua/index1.html) - "Home" link doesn't 
work.

So, on main page of my blog http://madsanity.ho.ua i have same link, but when i 
move to page http://madsanity.ho.ua/index1.html "Home" link changes to 
http://madsanity.ho.ua/index1.html 

I think, "Home" is "Home", and it can't change in any condition :)

I think, blaze-list command will show problem: (look at ID order)
