I added a preview function into the blog plugin with changeset 1837!
Now you can see, if you use the markup in the right way ;)

btw. PyLucid used now the external package python-creole, i have created in the past. With this module you can not only parse creole markup content into html, you can also convert existing html code back into creole. But this parts needs some work.

There exist a bug in the blog comment function: Anonymous users can't submit a comment. This is fixed with Changeset 1835 ;)

I updated PyLucid, so now it can be used with the current django trunk version ;)

Django changes are:

• newforms admin branch merged
• Moved django.newforms to django.forms
• Changed the way URL paths are determined

Needed PyLucid changes: changeset 1719-1723

pages updates:

• new page: update PyLucid from v0.8.x to v0.8.5
• insert install instruction into /documentation/using/blog/

With changeset 1705 and 1709 there are some enthancement in the PyLucid blog plugin:

• All stuff around the RSS/Atom feeds
• comments didn't use the html pre tag.
• comments would be rendered with a simple markup who build only html paragraphs and links (if http:// used)

↑ update:  #

With changeset 1712 i update these in the blog plugin:

• add a tag cloud ;)
• display only tag feeds witched used in a displayed entry
• tag ordering via django meta class
• update the templates/CSS

↑ update 2:  #

And some update, too:
changeset 1713 + 1714:

• nicer "create blog entry" form (existing tags can be selected)
• some code cleanup
• try to verify tag slugs
• add some JavaScript confirm dialogs.

Now the PyLucid blog can generate RSS/Atom feeds using the low-level syndication feed framework in django.

I also split the big blog.py. The next thing to implement: Use caching ;) The blog plugin generates everything on the fly. The PyLucid page cache didn't do anything on the blog pages.

Other things are the tagging stuff. They should be sorted and a tag cloud should be generated, too.

I add the PyLucid Blog to technorati.com:

Now our new blog plugin is online...

It's still a little bit experimental. But now is the time to test it.
More information about the new plugin can you find under /documentation/using/blog/
