# This should be run on a new Linode Ubuntu 32-bit 10.04 image as root to prepare it for  Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Node, CouchDB environment

# To start, something like this works:
# scp prepare_server.sh root@123.456.789.10:/root

# First, install basic linux utilities (compilers, git, libssl)

cd /root
mkdir /src
cd src

// You need to install 'node-markdown': `npm install node-markdown`
// In your app.configure section add 'md' to 'view options' ie:

app.set('view options', { layout: 'layouts/index', md: require("node-markdown").Markdown })

// Then in your jade template you can use:

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Moving DocPad Forward, the rise of backend-agnostic GUIs

A GUI, or rather a CMS interface for DocPad is the big next step. It was also one of the first proof of concepts I used to ensure DocPad would be able to scale into the web development platform of the future.

Proof of Concept

Back in the first early months of DocPad, I created three plugins:

• Authenticate: To authenticate you against the project's maintainers to ensure that you have read and write access
• REST: Provided authenticated users the ability to update documents via HTTP POST requests using JSON
