 Maintaining a glog consists basically (but not necessarily) in creating an entry (in your log directory) and modifying your phlog gophermap so that the new entry is displayed with its creation date. Here is a script that you can run on SDF-EU called mkgopherentry that will allow you to do exactly that. It will also extract the first paragraph from the entry and will add it on the gophermap with a "Continued..." link that will point to the full post.  Maintaining a glog consists basically (but not necessarily) in creating an entry (in your log directory) and modifying your phlog gophermap so that the new entry is displayed with its creation date.

-Besides what was said in the last paragraph of the figlet.cgi example, there's also another thing to stress. In that example, and in content that will be server as a virtual directory (or with an itemtype 1, or 7), won't be displayed if you use access your script via floodgap proxy (and maybe others). In this case you will need to format the output of your script. Luckily this is very easy. For instance, in the figlet.cgi example you will need to modify the echo ... line this way: +Besides what was said in the last paragraph of the figlet.cgi example, there's also another thing to stress.

 where <TAB> is a tab character (you should already know this!) and error.host and 1 are, respectively, a fake server and port number (you could also have written fake instead of error.host and 300 instead of 1). where <TAB> is a tab character (you should already know this!) and error.host and 1 are, respectively, a fake server and port number (you could also have written fake instead of error.host and 300 instead of 1).
