Re: What I Want

A while back, I posted about a google reader function that I wanted–the ability to seamlessly share things from google reader to my blog. Lazyweb wasn’t much help, so I rolled out a quick-and-dirty greasemonkey script to do it. You can find it here: http://www.dknowles.org/other/google-reader-cross-share.user.js

Right now, it works by clicking on the share icon below a reader entry. I’m not catching keyboard shortcuts, so it requires a physical click. (fine with me, as I’m a keyboard junkie and can’t be bothered with constant naggings about sharing on my blog)

The regular “use-at-own-risk-may-break-at-any-time” disclaimer applies. Ideally, I’d eventually like this to make a greader-styled popup that asks for your blog entry, but that requires more work than I’m willing to put into this. Plus, this works as-is. If there’s interest in this, I can put it in SVN somewhere so people can give back and extend it and stuff.

What I Want

A seamless google reader / wordpress integration.   

I want to be able to pull up the links I’ve shared in my google reader and write comments about them to post directly into my blog.  Most of the time, I read articles directly in reader so it’s a pain to have to click the links copy them, then paste them here to comment on them. I’m thinking either a greasemonkey script, or maybe a way of making a daily digest.   

Anyone in the lazyweb want to make that happen for me? :)
