BulletBlogger Plugin for Mozilla
Scoble mentioned a tool like this a while back, but here's a specific implementation I need. If I knew more about Mozilla development and Perl (for MovableType) I could probably build it. You'll notice I have a "BulletBlog" down the right side of the page. This is a list of links or stuff I think is interesting or I want to read later. The current way of adding to it is: 1. Go to the page I want to link to. It's a lot of steps for a relatively simple thing to do. I'm pretty much just bookmarking this page on my BulletBlog. Here's what I'd like to be able to to with Mozilla: 1. Go to the page I want to link to. The link for the page is automatically grabbed for you, so that's one less thing to do. As well you don't have to log right into the MovableType system to make the post. I was thinking it could be done with some Mozilla development on the client side and some understanding of the Perl in MovableType on the server side, but I just remembered how MT does trackbacks (with the bookmarked popup window) and this type of thing may be able to be done in the same way .... hmmm ....

Would you even need to know Perl or anything like this? Couldn't Mozilla just build a http request (form) sending all the required info in? » Posted by: Jim at April 16, 2004 01:54 PMGood point, but I *might* need to know Perl to figure out what information to send to the server, to which page and how to send it (ie. GET or POST). » Posted by: Ryan at April 16, 2004 07:08 PM |
