So, if by any chance you--the reader--are someone that has been paying attention to what I've been writing--or posting, rather, as I've not necessarily been writing a whole lot of anything--I think I can proudly announce that I am finished tinkering with getting my various blogging efforts in order. Maybe.

A recap / explanation of what I've managed to do or accomplish is:

1.) I re-synchronized all of my self-hosted Wordpress formatted posts to my gemlog and to the Wordpress.com location.

2.) I went through all of my old WP posts and tried to update all the broken links.

3.) I started tinkering with my not-so-quick-and-easy gemlog posting script to try and include a way of automatically uploading posts written in gemini to Wordpress.

4.) I lcoated a Wordpress plugin that someone created that automatically exports fresh Wordpress posts to gemini *.gmi files.

5.) I tinkered with my not-so-quick-and-easy script some more, to make sure that I could have the WP plugin and my script use the same *.gmi files without arguing about permission errors or attempting to create duplicate files.

6.) (or maybe 5.5) I figured out how to account for me being silly and possibly including capitalized letters or spaces in my gmi filenames when saving, and put in checks to rename things to lowercase and use hyphens in order to be compatible with the WP plugin.

7.) I figured out how to use nano as something a little closer to a word processor. YAY!

I would love to sit and write more about how I accomplished all of this, but I've now given myself a slight headache in figuring all this stuff out. I'm just happy to have something working, finally.

I hope to come back soon with a little more of an explanation of how I did all this, probably with a reveal of my terrible and likely insecure bash script. I would also like to come back and share which plugins, scripts, servers and anything else I'm using, as I really want to give credit where credit is due. I mean, really, I wouldn't be getting any of this crap accomplished without the use of countless other people's work.

Well, I think that's it for now. Until the next time.

Thanks for reading;

--J
