Sounds like we should add these changes to the default blogging.rb?
Brett, rather than give these “go to line n and add this” you should just run “diff -u oldfile newfile” or “svn diff” if you edited the checked out version.
This gives a nice patch file, where I (and pthers) can then simply do:
cd «directory with blogging.rb» patch < bretts_changes.patch
Unfortunately Mail mangles leading tabs/spaces, so you have to zip it to attach it here, but ideally one would just paste it in the letter body, then the receiver copies it to the clipboard and do:
pbpaste|patch
Much much easier than this “go to line this and do that” :)
