#title Blogger API

It's released. A little bit of hacking and Radio (and friends!) work with my company's content management system, Inweb (warning, marketing copy).

Inweb does a lot with news feeds, It has it's own internal news channels, it can aggregate from Internet RSS feeds, and it can publish RSS feeds back to the net. The Blogger API makes it a lot easier to publish lots of news from the comfort of my own desktop browser.

The crowning touch to this would be to make the various categories of radio postings correspond to different blogs, which would be recognized as different Inweb channels.

There's a bit of undocumented featureitis in my implementation, as Inweb's News Items have titles and they look naked without them. So I've made a #title declaration in the first line be recognized as a title for the news item. And they look distinctive enough that I've left them in the Radio weblog too. Sooner or later, the Blogger API will include titles, and I can merge this feature back into the undocumented atomic dustbin of history.
