Here's what's been added since the last update. These have been posted to The New, New Podcast Review: Review Queue as well.

Site news

Let's see. Well, I've caught up adding things to the queue, including these. While I'm on the subject, I changed the queue to use OPML and the activeRenderer APIs to display the list. It's the same organization that I use for the reviewed podcast list, so moving stuff from one to the other will be a lot easier. It also means that the "done" reviews in the queue are gone, but they're (almost) all in the reviewed list (I'm missing a few of the 3.5 star reviews still) and they were mostly cluttering up the queue anyway. Doing this led me to question the OPML architecture that I'm using for these. I'm putting html-escaped tags in the "text" attributes of the <outline> tags, which makes them display as links, which is pretty nice. However, it also means that the OPML is all but unreadable by humans, and I suspect that many apps that would read it probably don't like it much. So I'm thinking about changing that. To do so I'd have to have 2 <outline>s per submission - 1 for the site and 1 for the feed. If anyone has thoughts on this, please feel free to leave a comment.

As I noted above I'm still digging out of the search log backlog, but I don't feel a lot of urgency for that. I'm trying to settle into a more regular schedule between this and my other writing; we'll see how that goes.

Have a great week!
