Using structured blogging plugin for reviews now
Just found the structuredblogging.org plugin that structures a Wordpress entry in a very logical manner, where you have specific fields for creating and editing a review that it then can format in a logical manner. Other than a couple of minor issues (the link checking doesn’t seem to be working, will need to look into that) and the lack of Advanced Editing options (needed to change the author of the post, couldn’t do it without turning the plugin off), this is a kick-butt plugin. This is available on the On Movies site right now and will be available on the rest of the sites on the next svn update for each one.
What is Structured Blogging?
Structured blogging is about making a movie review look different from a calendar entry. On the surface, it’s as simple as that - formatting blog entries around their content.
To see what we’re talking about, check out the sample content on the blog.
On another level, it’s a bit more complicated - what we want to do is create structure (in the form of XML) around each of these types of entries, to organize the data inside and to let machine readers - other programs, sites, and aggregators - better understand the content.
