So I change the folder name before publishing, giving it a shorter, more sensical name along with the proper number to be the newest article on my site. Usually, the title that IFTTT pulls from the original source is long and cumbersome. What is not shown in this rule is my change to the folder title. Hazel then uses the Upload command to connect to my server and add the folder and file. I simply add a green label to the article folder. Now, when the article is filled in, edited, and ready to go, I just make a few changes in OS X.

Before this setup, I would simply connect to my site in Coda and add the new file directly. The most important step here is publishing. The 2nd rule is in place to simply remind when I have some older link article files ready for publishing.Īfter a week, I’ll get the Hazel notification that some items should get attention.

Sometimes I get busy or am away and have little time for writing. If you step back and ignore all those details, the process is simply this: I find an article of interest, add it to Pinboard, and the minutes later the file and folder are sitting on my Mac and are ready for me to add commentary. takes the file and moves it into the folder.creates a folder with the same name as the text file.

I wanted Hazel to do most of the manual work for me. As well, each text file within the folder has a general file name of article.txt or (depending on the article type). Because Kirby is a flat file CMS, each post lives in a folder with a certain name and number. The first thing to do is get the new text file created by the IFTTT recipe to match the structure of my Kirby install. This may sound complex, but each rule is fairly simple. I use 4 rules to prep my articles for writing, to remind me to write, to actually publish to my site, and to keep my Dropbox folder in sync with my journal folder on my server. I have Hazel watching the writing folder in Dropbox for various activies. The real action happens on OS X after that. IFTTT uses my link article template to populate the text file. Like Rian, this is picked up by IFTTT and the linked article is saved to a text file in Dropbox. I save the article to Pinboard and add a tag titled “link”. I start by finding something I want to share and add commentary.

The full process is for writing link posts. IFTTT takes that liked article and shares it on Twitter via Buffer. If I want to share an article, but do not have anything to add, I simply “like” it in Instapaper.

Rian shared his own use of Pinboard lately, so he’s truly to fault for this post.Īs mentioned above, I use a collection of tools to get content published to my flat file Kirby install on my Media Temple server. But I appreciate hearing how the writers I respect get content on their site and hopefully someone can benefit from hearing about my own. I realize many folks consider talking about your blogging toolset is akin to talking about your relationship issues in public. Now days, I use a set of web based and desktop tools to share my thoughts on my Kirby run blog. Blogging tools have come a long way since then.īack then, I used MarsEdit and only MarsEdit to publish to my WP run blog, The Weekly Review. That was early in 2008 and I still remember the sinking yet thrilling feeling I had when Shawn Blanc first linked to one of my articles. It feels like a long time since I posted my first entry to my first WordPress via Mars Edit.
