This is part two of my application to Hungry Academy. Part one lives at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ze-dcVY05k

Recently I [made a pull request][1] to improve Octopress' pullquote plugin.

The improvement happened in pullquote.rb and _typography.scss. These files allow users to create pullquotes as demonstrated in [the documentation][2]. Pullquotes are by default right-aligned. I wanted to be able to use pullquotes with either left or right alignment. I worked to modify existing code to allow left aligning pullquotes.

I added a condition which assigns a very simple regular expression to the existing initialization which assigns a variable to "left" if the liquid tag contains the word "left", and "right" otherwise. The plugin creates an html tag with alignment indicated in the class.

Then, I edited the Sass to interpret the new class to float left and mirror the margins of its right-aligned counterpart.

	# which will not be the case on multiple paragraph highlights.

	I'm using the home_timeline method to get a collection of tweets, and it's giving me problems with tweets which have been retweeted. A retweet will often have a truncated URL in it's text like "http://t.co/V" in "RT @noirinp: The @adainitiative are open for donations! Donate @ http://t.co/T3obm0iQ or see cool stuff they're planning @ http://t.co/V ..."

	by the way, you can pull this up in IRB with the following:
	require "twitter"
	tweet = Twitter.status(144927777588658177)
	tweet.text

	I'm using the code below to

	require 'twitter'
	require 'yaml'

	Twitter.configure do \|c\|
	config = YAML.load(File.read("config.yml"))[:twitter]
	c.consumer_key = config[:consumer_key]
	c.consumer_secret = config[:consumer_secret]
	c.oauth_token = config[:oauth_token]
