We should try to emulate blog posts like this in the gaming blog. j.mp/eEEH4b

Hey guys, why is this turned off on Blog Overflow? (Screenshot from my self hosted WP 3.0 blog, it's not a plugin)
Or is it admin-only? (I'm an editor on the Gaming blog)

How do you hook up LiveWriter without spamming the rss feed with the temp post?
@RebeccaChernoff!!!! Hey just wanted to confirm that you got my email...
I did. I believe your shirt went out the same day.
Saweet!!!!
thanks!
I don't think you can @RebeccaChernoff or just don't create the temp post and forget about the mark up and just use the standard tags
I don't try to make posts fancy in Live Writer, just make image uploading quicker
and typing in Wordpress is a pain when you're used to Markdown
can't we just get rid of the whole WYSIWYG editor and replace it with Markdown? :P

Q: Do job postings exaggerate their requirements?

TesserexI feel like a reasonably qualified programmer, but a lot of job postings I run into make me feel otherwise. Almost all of them separate qualifications into requirements and desirables, but even the requirements part can be daunting. I've seen a lot of postings that say they require several years...

Is it just me or is Programmers just dying to get blogged about by the new Jeff or Joel?

I think blog.SU supports markdown.
22:10
yeah I think we enabled that.
@ThomasMcDonald should check his email. (;
I could put up a meta post on Programmers, asking for who wants to be the next J&J :P I'm sure I'll get some interested replies
Lol I'm looking forward to that post

@RebeccaChernoff I seen it, just not had chance to reply yet ;)
@ThomasMcDonald oh really?
user30
@KronoS Well, there's a plugin installed for it.
22:13
That'll make new user blog posts easier... we can just tell them to use markdown and we can just paste it over
user30
I can't say I've tested it
If the SU blog keeps growing and more users notice that we actually have a blog, we will probably get more traffic than some SE sites :\
the easiest way is to type it in a markdown editor, copy the result in Live Writer and be done with it :P
user30
@RebeccaChernoff Okay, I have nothing to reply to that apart from "Done", which seems unnecessarily terse and short for an email. :)
hehe
keep the other part in mind too if ya want
user30
Oh, it appears to have sent it anyway. Silly mail client.

22:22
Oh no it hasn't, it's too clever for its own good.
user30
Yeah, that bit's no problem.
well just let me know (:
