blojsom, Firefox 2, and Microsummaries

Just in case no one else has thought of it...

Microsummaries for Blojsom!

0. Install the Blojsom addon bundle.

1. Create a velocity template: microsummary.vm, and put this in it:
Latest: $BLOJSOM_PLUGIN_LIST_TOOL.get($BLOJSOM_ENTRIES,
0).getEscapedTitle()

Not actually sure about the syntax, but it returns what's expected,
so, I'm living with it.

2. Create a new flavor: microsummary, text/plain and associate
microsummary.vm with it.

3. Create a plugin chain (perhaps conditional get is not good?) for
the new microsummary flavour. This is the chain I'm using right now:
conditional-get, meta, limiter, nofollow, rss-enclosure, list-tool

4. In the <head> section of your blog's HTML template add something
like this:
<link rel="microsummary" href="$BLOJSOM_BLOG.getBlogURL()?
flavor=microsummary"/>

Et voila. When you bookmark your blog in Firefox, you get a dropdown
box for the name, and you can choose the latest headline as the live
bookmark summary. Another 0-day Blojsom result
