Task: Change author name on retrieved posts
I've used the impressive CS feed-reading capabilities to seed the site with posts (both blog posts and news items) that I've created elsewhere.
Eventually, it would be a good idea to change to author to reflect its real origination by this site's user (ie: me at this point).
Again, there's sample code in the Wrox book that will be helpful. Page 232 offers some sample code for changing a post's properties.
Side note: As I expected, this seeding of the site with posts from ttca.org is causing some search engine issues. Already, I've noticed that technorati.com won't allow me to claim qblog on this site. I suspect it's because virtually all the posts are currently mirrored from blog.ttca.org. I'll have to deal with them, and probably with Google and more once I've moved original posts to this site.
One thing I plan to do to make that argument easier is to redirect hits to at least some of the ttca.org posts to here once the changeover is made. I haven't decided yet whether to try to bring all of the old posts over here, however.
Maybe I should try to do a Technorati claim to this blog since it's all original to this site and even though the posts here currently have little to do with the subject of the overall site.
OK, then... That seems to have worked for my new seaQwa '>Technorati Profile
