Posting Blog Entries from Evernote with ifttt


Today I discovered that the automation platform ifttt (If This Than That) enables the automatic publishing of notes from Evernote to Blog platforms like Blogger or WordPress.

So, this is my first blog entry automatically published from Evernote by using the recipe:

There are other recipies using Evernote and Blogger:

See if it works.

Below some examples of different content types.

Example of a picture:


Example of  SQL code automatically posted:

COL owner       HEADING 'Owner' FORMAT A15
COL object_type HEADING 'Name'  FORMAT A40
COL object_name HEADING 'Type'  FORMAT A10

SELECT owner "Owner", object_type "Name", object_name "Type"
  FROM dba_objects
 WHERE status != 'VALID'
   AND owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM','DBSNMP','PUBLIC')
 ORDER BY owner, object_type;

On some tests, the automatically posted code did not looked like the code from above.
Sometimes the used font had no fixed width.

In order to get such fixed width font below, I had to edit the generated HTML, surrounding my SQL-code block by <pre> ... </pre>:

COL owner       HEADING 'Owner' FORMAT A15
COL object_type HEADING 'Name'  FORMAT A40
COL object_name HEADING 'Type'  FORMAT A10

SELECT owner "Owner", object_type "Name", object_name "Type"
  FROM dba_objects
 WHERE status != 'VALID'
   AND owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM','DBSNMP','PUBLIC')
 ORDER BY owner, object_type;

The color (and other properties) can also be changed by adding a CSS entry to your layout template.
For example:


And using it in the post.
That means, in the example above, by surrounding the SQL-code with:
<pre class="code"> . . . </pre>:

Alternatives for automatic Posting

There are also other automation platforms providing such a service:
