Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
Avi has posted some comments to the squeak-dev mailing list about SmallBlog. One of the issues with the current version (you can see the problem on the learning Seaside Blog) is the lack of permalinks for existing posts; that makes it next to impossible to get back to old content once it's scrolled off the main page. Apparently, that's been addressed:
One of the major advantages of this version is that if you configure it with your hostname, the links generated in the RSS feed will be absolute, and so will actually work. Also, accessing the front page and the RSS feed no longer involves HTTP redirects, which confused some aggregators
BottomFeeder was ok with the redirects - it handles temp redirects accurately. It's good to see the link issue addressed though. I'm looking forward to Avi's keynote at Smalltalk Solutions - I'd like to hear more about Seaside.
