Backpedal
Hmm… It was a nice little excercise - trying to get recently posted vids thumbnailed up in a sidebar - but I think I’ll back down. Due to the way tumblr’s markup system works, once vids leave the currently-displayed page, they can’t be displayed in a sidebar anyway. The solution that would instantly solve all complexities would be to write up the whole thing as an external site, then use the Tumblr API to fill it with my tumblr’s stuff…but do I want to leave tumblr.com? Not really.Still, I learnt how to use PHP to rewrite a block of shittily prepared embed code as a block of nicely prepared embed code, so that’s something. It’s just a shame to waste that nice mouseover shading thing…maybe I can use that in my vid posts?
