My TextExpander snippet for creating micro blog mention urls jackwellborn.com

@kulturnation I added comments in the script that explains each line and included a screenshot of what it looks like in my TextExpander. Hope that helps!

@kulturnation While it is a script, I think it’s basic enough. If it helps, I am also using Word Press and also use the Markdown Extra plugin. Here’s a video with the snippet in action where I type, then cut the mention, and then type “;m@“ to expand.

@kulturnation @jackwellborn FWIW (and shameless plug), I wrote a WordPress filter to automatically make Micro.blog @-name links; depending on what you’re comfortable with or your workflow, it might be a better fit.

@jackwellborn I don’t—I may be the only person who doesn’t normally blog in Markdown ;-) I haven’t heard any reports of problematic interactions, though; this acts right before the post is written to the DB, so I believe the Markdown has already been rendered into HTML.
