Blogger dashboard posts body

The Blogger posts body is the working area for the Posts page, it is essentially a file list of the posts on the blog.


The data on each post is split into two sections.


The left hand side group starts with a checkbox to select individual posts. After which the function buttons of the posts navbar (the group above the post names) can operate on the selected posts. The title of the post and any labels applied are displayed next. Below that are three options for working on the post, Edit, View and Delete. The Edit function opens the post in the Blogger post editor, View will load the blog at the point that the post was made, and Delete removes the post from the blog.


On the right hand side are four data points associated with each post, the author log‑on name, the number of comments made on the post, the number of page views the post has received, and the date that the post was published or last edited.

Overall the data is presented well, but I can image that on a bigger blog the sorting options (ie none) could become a bit limiting. What if you wanted to see which of your hundreds of posts had the highest number of views for example? Sorting by labels makes it easier, but for a common topic on the blog it would still be awkward.

The next section of the interface to tackle is the navigation sidebar, which really contains the meat of the whole interface.

Grocy and its Home Assistant Add-on

The next layer of the Virtual Bean Counter software stack is the meat in the sandwich, Grocy (see Grocy system install ). As with the Home Assistant (HA) Operating System that was reviewed previously the aim of this article is to consider the support and backup options for the Grocy system as installed onto our HA virtual machine . But first a little history. Whither Grocy ? It sprang from the desire of a software developer, Bernd Bestel , to progress beyond using Excel (as we know a great spreadsheet and data analysis tool but with a limited UI) to something more fully featured by exploiting his experience with commercial inventory management. The first version of Grocy was released in 2017 and after seven years is now on its fourth full point release . However, unlike HA, it is essentially a one-man band with a single developer responsible for pretty much the entirety of the content all without stable funding (currently). That said the package is quite mature and " does wha...

Further adventures in household paper products

As the toilet rolls are up and running I couldn't resist adding the rest of the loft stocks into the mix. The next two items are kitchen roll and facial tissues . Following the same process described for toilet rolls; kitchen roll comes in a multipack, but this time a case has four packs of three rolls and we already have the storage location, shop and quantity units set up. Again, I think we'll have to set up a generic item (Parent product) as well as a specific one for the Kirkland brand rolls (Child product). So I gave it a name, Kitchen roll and a description; default storage location and shop, Loft / Costco ; a min stock amount, 3 rolls ; all the quantity units are Roll . Job done. Now for the specific product, as previously, pulling images and descriptions off the Costco website, setting up case and pack barcodes and quantity conversions between them, buying in Cases and using in Packs . But hang on, do we really want to track in packs of three? We only need a sin...
