Another issue with Slogger. On your blog entry introducing Slogger, you show this in your config if you have multiple RSS feeds:

rss_feeds: [    http://feeds.feedburner.com/BrettTerpstra
                http://www.tuaw.com/editor/brett-terpstra/rss.xml ]

So I did this in my config:

rss_feeds: [    http://www.chainsawonatireswing.com/feed/ 
                http://blog.granneman.com/feed/  ]

I know both feeds work. However, when I run Slogger, I get this:

$ ruby slogger
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 8, col 35: `               http://blog.granneman.com/feed/  ]' (ArgumentError)
    from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
    from /Users/rsgranne/bin/Slogger/lib/configtools.rb:9:in `load_config'
    from /Users/rsgranne/bin/Slogger/lib/configtools.rb:9:in `open'
    from /Users/rsgranne/bin/Slogger/lib/configtools.rb:9:in `load_config'
    from slogger:28

I'm not sure why it fails.

Looks like you need a comma (,) after the first feed.

Scott Granneman — Aug 09, 2012 11:50 pm

Well, yes, except that Brett's example does NOT have a comma after the first feed.

observer — Aug 09, 2012 11:58 pm

Yes it does

Scott Granneman — Aug 10, 2012 01:33 am

Then I must be blind. When I look at Brett's sample config above, there is no comma after the first feed.

I swear this image is unedited.

@Scott - The example in your comment certainly does not have a comma in it, but the example in the original post does.

You might just try it with the comma in there and see if it doesn't work. :-)

I eventually used the comma, & yes it worked. But I swear that when I look at the page in Chrome, there's no comma. See?

That's a screenshot from my MBP of the config in Chrome. When I look at the same page in other browsers, I see the flippin' comma! Weird!

Dang it - the screenshot didn't show up ... & I used Markdown. OK, here's a link: http://ftp.granneman.com/sl...

I'm really not an idiot. I write books 'n teach 'n stuff!

Just so we're both sure we're not crazy, it looks like there's some syntax highlighting in your screenshot. Is that from a plugin or something on my site? I'm wondering if a syntax highlighter might have obscured the comma somehow...
