The Braves Blog

I know I’ve said this before, but I think I have people that are really going to blog this time! They’ve both posted already, so scroll down if you missed it.

I’m doing some other “behind-the-scenes” changes as well. I’m working on getting all of the software up-to-date, including the newest methods for facebook and twitter integration. I’m also working on a few coding projects that will make life easier on the bloggers, and as a result, the blogs better for the readers.

The first project is a set of libraries for accessing data from MLB.com using the gameday API. The project has just started, but can be found at http://mlbgamedayapi.peelercoding.com. The next project will utilize the libraries created in the first project to create a set of wordpress plugins that can be utilized by this and any other wordpress blog. It will include shortcodes for easily linking to a page (player, game, team, etc.) on mlb.com, as well as many other features. While the majority of this will not directly affect you, the reader, it will, as I mentioned above, allow for the creation of better, more content-rich blogs.
