Just deployed it for an internal work blog (just happened to see this particular post at the right time), and I love new projects so I'll use it for awhile and see what I see.

Obviously it'd be "nice" to have some better contributor management, and instead of forcing me to manipulate the URL to do stuff it'd be "nice" to just click buttons, but frankly I don't care much about any of that.

Real feature request: Language specific syntax highlighting for the code bits. I'd like my snippets to come with highlighting as I explain stuff. JavaScript, Python, C, HTML to start, if you have to pick some languages. :)

Also I notice at the bottom of your blog an rrs and atom feed set of links. any plans on implementing that globally?

It is already built into specter. Use the urls

/feed/rss and /feed/atom

So all you got to do is add an anchor tag that points to these urls.

Settings can be set in the preferences file.

Regarding syntax highlighting...

Can you not use javascript libraries to do this? I have got no idea how to go about implementing this..

Ah, noticed the feed paths after I posted, thanks.

As for syntax highlighting yeah, I'm sure it's just a matter of a library, but you know, it's your project! Sometimes people are looking for stuff to add, just wanted to point out a place I'd find useful. :)

No problem man. I will look to add syntax highlighting by default in specter.

Anyway I updated the pages to have the feeds into them by default so it does not cause any confusion.
