Linkblog via scripts

I see that if I run a section of outline outside the calendar area of Fargo and combine it with a script I cobbled together out of pieces from other people's recently published scripts, I can set up a linkblog that runs from my named outline.

  • Here is the script:

  • Linkblog

    • dialog.ask("Paste the URL of your link below","","here!",function (name) {

    • op.attributes.setOne("type", "link");

    • op.attributes.setOne("url", name);

    • });

And if I direct this section of outline to its own template, I can strip away anything that is not needed for the linkblog--a matter of taste, really.

And if I use as-is or adapt Jeffrey Kishner's new tweet script, I can send anything from the linkblog immediately to Twitter, if I wish.

  • [The only reason I might adapt it is that Twitter also counts the characters so I'm not sure the script needs to count them first.]

Thanks to all the script-writing folks who are showing the way--it's been fun to try scripting for the first time.

PS.
