BlogExtension Plug-in for Windows SharePoint Services

SharePoint Thoughts - Discussion view

"The BlogExtension Plug-in for Windows SharePoint Services (yes, I know I have a knack for picking long names) is ready for use. In the tradition of big search companies whose names rhyme with noodle, I'm going to call this a Beta Release (even though you won't see word beta anywhere, nor is functionality truncated).

Why is this a Beta Release?
Feedback is needed...
Does the UI make sense?
Does it work like your other plug-ins? (this is where I have little to no comparison data)
Ideas for improvement?
There is no documentation (or than this post and the download page).
I may have to change things around a bit. Time will tell.
Lets all be trendy by using something that is in beta. :)

What do you get out of it?
Two plug-ins: one for publishing content and the other for simply publishing links.
A really cool way of interacting with your SharePoint sites and blogs.
Zero cash investment free is always nice!

Installation instructions:
Unzip the download file, run the exe.
Either point your RSS reader to folder where the plug-in is installed or manually copy the files to your reader’s “plugin” folder.
Boot your RSS reader and configure the plug-in.
Publish to your heart’s content"


Sounds interesting. I'd be even more interested if I was using a full client RSS reader instead of Bloglines... Still I'm thinking about it for internal blog usage.
