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” :)
