Title: Release of LifeFlow 0.91

A few weeks behind my idealistic schedule, LifeFlow 0.91 has finally pushed its way through the doors, with a number of code refactorings, and enhanced flexibility for entry authors.
Title: ReST, Textile and HTML in Markdown
Tags: lifeflow markdown
Recently I have run into a few situations where I really wanted to avoid Markdown messing with segments of text, and there isn't a completely intuitive way to deal with that by default, so I put together a quick solution. And.. while I was at it I added some support for rendering Textile and ReST from within Markdown as well.
Title: Working on LifeFlow's Public Face
Tags: django lifeflow
Series: LifeFlow Development
The current version of LifeFlow under progress, 0.91, is focused on improving the public faces of LifeFlow. This means improving the quality of the code so that other developers have an easier time getting involved, but it also means improving the usability and appearance of the publicly viewed templates as well.

Title: Introducting the LifeFlow Editor
Tags: lifeflow
Its taken a while, but I've finally gotten around to writing an editor for LifeFlow which will replace using the Django admin. Its not completely finished, but a lot of the functionality is here. Don't play with this on your production deployments yet, its being a bit weird on converting between Drafts and Entries

Title: Don't Repeat Yourself for Bloggers: Dynamic Blog Context in LifeFlow
Tags: blog lifeflow markdown
Series: Learning LifeFlow
Programmers talk about DRY, or Don't Repeat Yourself, all the time. Its a strategy for making programming more pleasant, more efficient, and to reduce errors. LifeFlow uses a simple idea, which I have brazenly labeled Dynamic Blog Context, to try to take a few steps toward DRY while writing blogs.
Title: Customizing LifeFlow Quickly with Skins
Tags: lifeflow skinning
Series: Learning LifeFlow
An introduction to skinning LifeFlow without causing any harm to the SVN checkout. The current skin on this website is about 30 lines of CSS, and a third of those are closing parentheses, so its not that hard to transform it from its default minimalism into something much more appealing.

Title: New Look for LifeFlow, Deployment on Dreamhost
Tags: lifeflow
My last goal before writing some documentation for LifeFlow was to give it a new visual layout that was a bit cleaner and more had a bit more widely appealing aesthetic than my current design here at lethain.com. That task was completed this morning. After finishing it I ran over to Dreamhost and deployed it <a href="http://projects.willarson.com/">for the world to see.</a>.
