Added several new features yesterday, which was shockingly easy.

Adding Textile support was a breeze with the RedCloth gem for Ruby. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it’s way easier than writing a lot of HTML code, that’s for sure. I am still working on getting CodeRay up and working. It looks like that won’t be terribly hard, though.

I’m also almost there on comments. After my last website became a mess with all the spam and robot comment posts, I decided I was going to get smarter this time. I am nearly done implementing Akismet, which is a slick way to filter spam from your comments without forcing users to do extra work. How am I doing this you might ask? A plugin, of course, called Rakismet which makes it falling-down easy.

Once I get that going, I’ll enable comments and then I can comment on my own posts, since I am sure no one is actually reading this thing right now anyway. Not even my mom. But, that’s not the point, is it? This is mostly an edumacational experiment, right?

Onward.

I'm Aron Pilhofer and this here is my website. And by website, I really do mean mine. I wrote it from scrath on Rails, which is my preferred framework. So if stuff doesn't work right, tough. Get over it. I'm learning, OK? Oh, and I also work for The New York Times. If you want more of a bio, check my Linkedin profile.
