Welcome to the new Ideapad!
This page is still in beta but it’s time the new look got pushed out the door. Besides the new look, there’s a full back-end database and a new way of organizing things. Click the Read More link below for the full piece.
Welcome to the new Ideapad!
This page is still in beta but it’s time the new look got pushed out the door. Besides the new look, here are the changes:
~ There are true sub-categories for usability and journal entries. The usability pieces will be compiled in a new area entitled Getting It Right, and the journal items in a reborn area, now entitled Quite Keen. This page will continue to display all new content, including the more-or-less daily weblog items that have been living in the sidebar in previous months.
~ For the longer items you’ll have to click the Read More link to get the full piece.
~ Archive items are displayed one to a page now, not just monthly. I will still maintain monthly archive pages, as I think they’re a nice way to peruse the past.
~ This page is one big database feed, PHP and MySQL. Many thanks to David Miller for all the programming that went into making it work (and all the small details we’ve yet to fix).
My home page is new, too, and the rest of the pages on netwert.com will follow suit in the next few weeks.
By the way, and this hurts to say, but if you’re visiting this site in Netscape you are not seeing the full picture (he says with a sigh, nodding in his girlfriend’s direction). The blue bars and spacing that define the content column don’t render for some reason. This drives the many-users-one-experience perfectionist in me crazy, but the page is otherwise clean. I hope to rectify that issue but I make no guarantees.
Look for non-variable URLs, comment pop-ups, and other goodies in the weeks to come. In the interim, please send me a note and tell me what you think!
