Thinking about WordPress this morning, APIs and feeds…
This last year I’ve gotten caught up with WordPress, have been asking questions, and one of the best thing about this setup is that the doors have been open. I have great teachers who are encouraging me, and of course are experts in and proud of WordPress, and as a result I think FeedLand and WordPress are going to work together in some very nice ways. Getting pretty close on some of it.
A year ago I didn’t even know that WordPress still had APIs. At some point the code I had that worked with the MetaWeblog API and WordPress broke, and I assumed that it was the end of the line, and took the feature out of my linkblogging tool. But I was wrong. And not only that there was Calypso, a modern REST interface. It’s all there. I love it.
Getting FeedLand to work in the new environment has been a step by step process. It was built to run on a Digital Ocean server, with a file system. I’ve converted now all the pieces we needed, and it seems finally to run smoothly.
Onward! 😉
