Clarion Desktop Instant Messenger!

25 March 2008 - 12:11pm — Gary James

I spent some time this weekend building an Instant Messenger module for Clarion Desktop!

It's still rough around the edges, but it's working quite nicely.  I'll be releasing it later in the week.

I'm also going to make some changes to the "Clarion Bloggers" module to indicate more clearly which blogs the various headlines are coming from.

What is a Clarion blogger?

Gary,

Does a "Clarion blogger' have to blog about Clarion, or is it enough to blog and be part of the Clarion community? :)

RE: What is a Clarion blogger?

Hi Mark,

My feeling on this is that Clarion Desktop should display blog posts that have something to do with Clarion.

Some blogs are entirely about Clarion, whereas others (like my own blog) are mostly about other topics.  What I've done (in the case of my own blog) is to create a category on my blog called "Clarion".  Any blog posts that I write that have anything to do with Clarion simply get categorized under "Clarion" (using Wordpress), and then that particular RSS feed is sent to Clarion Desktop.

Make sense?

Best Regards,

Gary.
