A nice piece on Webmonkey about how to build a basic tumblelog with Django. The technique used is similar in concept (but a bit simpler) than what I’ve done here at jeffcroft.com. Note, though, that the Django signals bit in the article refers to the syntax for signals before a recent API change, so you’ll need minor changes to the code in the article to make it work with the current version of Django.

I think this tutorial is highly inspired from ryanberg’s creating tumbelog. Here is a tweet from [Ryan Berg](http://twitter.com/ryanberg/statuses/888246590 “Ryan Berg”]

Not just inspired, it was copy-pasted. The created = True gives it away, since in this code the logic that would set it False is deleted so there’s no need for it to be there at all.
Even worse is that like you mentioned Jeff, this code no longer works on Django trunk.

@ryanberg
I was just trying to polite by saying ‘inspired from’, infact it is a total rip off. Ya with django signals being refactored there is a lot of changes in the code.

Back along Jeff, you teased us by saying you would release the code that powers your site. Any chance that could be soon?

Is savoy framework going to be released in this year?

Also looking forward to a public release of Savoy. Any tentative timeline? 2008?

I hate to be a typical software guy, but i can really only say, “when it’s ready.” Which is closer and closer everyday. In 2008 is very likely, yes. :)

Yay!
