The easiest feature ever implemented, but worth having :o)

Been meaning to include a send-this-page-to feature for blog entries for ages, knowing it would be easys because that is built into Plone. It's there now, and Plone made it so easy that it's taking longer to write this lead-in than it took to implement :o)

Of all the many dozens of features we've worked hard to add to knotes lately, and found no time to document as they were added, why am I bothering to document this one? Because it illustrates a point: basing knotes on a robust existing suite of site-manaagement tools like Plone does make it easier to wrap our work in a context of existing features. This of course does not change the fact that the main advantage of leveraging Zope, the CMF and Plone is placing knotes content and users in the context of community sites and serious content-building.

As noted in the lead-in, I've just added a send-this-entry link in the blog entries template. It appears at the far left of the posted information below the content of an entry, and took exactly 3 minutes to implement (and that was mostly spent double-checking the id and size of the Plone mailto image :o)

Enjoy...
