I am trying to learn Clojure myself, and it is really helpful to follow your progress even though I am building a different project.

Thanks for doing these posts. I am trying to learn Clojure myself, and it is really helpful to follow your progress even though I am building a different project.

You can make your code a little more concise by dropping a lot of the (html ...) bits and losing the extra brackets in your function definitions: http://gist.github.com/76830

In fact, because the html function handles recursive vectors, you only really need one (html ...) at the top level. Your helper functions can just return vectors. Here's a more concise implementation of twitter-status: http://gist.github.com/76833

Another thing you might not know is that, like Java, Clojure looks for packages on the classpath. If you set your classpath up to include the current directory, you can put "template.clj" into "./flockr/templace.clj" and it'll automatially find it based on the namespace when you use :use or :require: http://gist.github.com/76832
