bluepulse Blogger widget

We just heard from the Ozzie developers at bluepulse that they've whipped up a Blogger widget for their mobile phone platform; here are a few details from their post about it:

  • Supports HTML, so you can link to a site, another post, or another blog from your post
  • Supports multiple Blogger blogs.
  • Create a new post, or edit an existing post from the widget and republish it
  • Save a post as a draft and then edit and publish it from the widget or your desktop later
Check it out!

Do you know how crazy that sounds?

Stuff to Think About

"A little HTML, a little CSS, and a little Javascript should do the trick. In my HTML, I used two divs, and a link to clear the results. One div is the search control div, and the other is a wrapper for the search control div. I put it near the bottom of my html files so it appears on top of the content on each page. Here's how it looks:"
    <div id="searchControlWrapper">
<a href="#" id="clearLink"
onclick="searchControlClear();">Clear</a>
<div id="searchControl"/>
</div>
You can play with it by searching for keywords like java and ajax in the searchbox in his blog's upper-right corner.
