Handy calendar...

BlogCal-J1.5
This is a good little module for showing articles by date. The only problem I notice is that the previous/next month links have an incorrect URL. Hopefully that gets implemented in some type of AJAX-style manner that doesn't need to reload the page, or at least includes the rel="nofollow" tag, as I had a similar problem with another calendar and ended up with thousands of Google results for each unique combination of page and calendar month.

I'm eager to see future versions!

Thanks for your comments, they're very insightful. Not sure what you mean by incorrect URLs in the next/previous month links, please elaborate on the support forums if you could. I've added rel="nofollow" tags to the previous/next month links and links within the calendar days. I haven't had the problem you mention but could see it happening ---> thanks for the suggestion. --drew

Good start...

It seems to work well as described - so no complaints! It also doesn't require the User Metadata extension, like the Gravatar extension - which is why I don't want to bother with that one.

However, this could use a few enhancements to be more useful and impressive. For example, I only want the avatar next to blog-style articles, or possibly only for articles in certian categories/sections.

Also, the ability to put the avater up next to the article title/date/author info above the content would be good, as many of my articles already have an article-related image floating to the left or right of the first paragraph.

If these capabilities were added, it would be much more useful. But as I said, it's a great start!
