This Ruby script converts an exported Blogger XML file into Octopress-compatible posts and drafts. It uses Nokogiri to parse the XML, extracting posts, comments, and metadata like titles, dates, and categories. The script organizes entries into published and draft folders, generating YAML front matter and HTML content for each post, while preserving comment threads. It demonstrates a batch migration workflow for static site generators.

Gist 360936

This example demonstrates a Tumblr API client in Ruby, showing how to fetch and model blog posts through a `Post` class that wraps raw post data in a `Hashie::Mash`. The code reveals the workflow of querying the Tumblr API via HTTParty, with support for pagination, post-type filtering, and direct lookup by ID. The visualization highlights the library’s role as an interface layer, not a rendering tool, as it contains no charting or drawing logic—instead, it focuses on data retrieval and object mapping. The example is purely code-based, with no visual output, emphasizing the API’s data-access patterns rather than graphical representation.

Drafting and publishing a blog post (in docpad) using [frontman](https://github.com/Hypercubed/frontman)

This example demonstrates how to draft and publish a blog post using the frontman command-line tool within a DocPad project. It shows the workflow of creating a new post from a draft template and then publishing it to a dated archive directory. The code uses frontman’s `new` and publish commands, with CSON configuration files (`draft_post.cson` and `publish_post.cson`) that specify metadata like layout, status, and output directories. The publish template dynamically computes the current date to set the post’s `date` field and target folder, while the draft template defaults to a `draft` status and `src/drafts/` output.

Gist 28c56b9a8960e9c0cf99489d2e43881a

This example shows how to modify the layout of a Blogger template by adjusting the widths of its main content and sidebar containers. The code uses plain CSS to override the default dimensions, expanding the overall page width to 940 pixels and allocating 675 pixels to the main wrapper and 256 pixels to the sidebar. A second file applies more conservative changes, setting the outer wrapper to 760 pixels and the main column to 510 pixels. The gist provides two alternative CSS approaches for resizing a Blogger page structure.

Gist 4e224719a58f232f8f26

This example demonstrates how to build a Jekyll blog post layout that displays article metadata alongside author information. The template uses Liquid templating to pull author details from a `_config.yml` file, showing how to associate blog posts with specific authors via YAML front matter. It renders the post title, publication date, and author name using the `site.authors` data structure and `page.author` variable. The code highlights Jekyll's built-in templating system for managing multi-author blogs without external JavaScript libraries.

HTML browser favorites to CSV

This example converts browser-exported HTML bookmark files into a clean CSV table with two columns: page titles and their URLs. The pipeline uses three command-line tools: pup extracts JSON objects from the HTML structure, jq reformats the data into CSV rows, and he decodes HTML entities back into readable text. The final output is a plain-text CSV file, making bookmark data easy to import into spreadsheets or other data tools. The code demonstrates a lightweight, scriptable approach to data cleaning without a graphical interface.

Sitemap.xml rake task

This example shows a Ruby rake task that programmatically generates a sitemap.xml file for a website. It first assembles a list of page URLs from static routes, database categories, and photos, then builds a valid XML document using the Nokogiri library’s XML builder. The code iterates over all Category and Photo records via ActiveRecord-style queries, constructs full URLs with a hardcoded domain, and writes the resulting XML to the public directory. It demonstrates a common pattern for dynamic sitemap generation in a Merb environment, with the final output counting the number of URLs saved.

Remove the annoying blogger preview click trap element.

This example shows a snippet of JavaScript that removes a click-trap overlay from a Blogger preview page, allowing direct interaction with the post. It detects the preview mode by checking for the substring `post-preview` in the URL, then uses `setTimeout` with a three-second delay to locate the `.blogger-clickTrap` element via `document.querySelector` and call `remove()`. The code relies on the standard DOM API and logs status messages to the console, but does not involve any external libraries or data sources.

Gist Scraping Script Prototype

This prototype demonstrates a data migration workflow that iterates through every file within each GitHub Gist associated with a given username. The visualization shows the raw JSON structure of a Gist, including its metadata and file contents. The application uses the Octokit library to fetch Gist data from the GitHub API and displays example file entries such as `App.js`, `data.csv`, and `package.json`. This proof of concept is built with React and includes placeholder functions for generating identifiers and converting timestamps, though the actual migration logic is not yet implemented.
