web What I want Nucleus to do

Posted April 23, 2005 • Comments Off on What I want Nucleus to do

I read a blog called Undisclosed Location, which is written by a medical student and is occasionally interesting. The first couple of days I read it, it was damned interesting, so I stuck on.

This guy’s blog somehow embeds his del.icio.us bookmarks every day. Every day, there’s a post called Links for 2005-04-18 [del.icio.us] (or whatever the date is), and it’s just a list of the links he shared that day. It’s very similar to the other posts I’ve seen on other people’s blogs that say “[Flickr]” at the end of them, with pictures they posted to Flickr that day.

How do I do this with my Stumbleupon pages? I don’t like del.icio.us enough to use it for this, and I’m not into Flickr yet (iPhoto integration helps, but I’m not taking many pictures right now), but I click SU buttons on every page I visit. I would very much like to be able to automatically post my SU ratings every day. There’s an RSS feed for it (http://www.stumbleupon.com/syndicate.php?stumbler=82897), so I just need something that causes Nucleus to grab that feed each day and post it as though I blogged it myself.

It seems so simple—embed one blog in another?—but I can’t find a plugin that does it. I wonder if I’m fundamentally misunderstanding the ‘verse.

P.S. Anna, while, if you have an idea, I’d love to hear it, these “tech support”–type entries are I PROMISE not directed at you as demands to fix things for me. I felt bad when you said shift-tab works for you in ecto; I didn’t mean for you to fix mine. Entries like this are as much me trying to marshal my thoughts as an early step in researching a problem as they are appeals to the masses for sharing of shared expertise.
