E26 Reboot - Tuesday 23rd August 05
Well as you can guess I have re-written the back-end to this version from the ground up again. So what is new in this version?
New Improved Design
With the design I wanted something a bit fresher and a bit nicer. I felt that the old design didn't reflect me as a person. Seeing as this website is about me that was a bad starting point. While I doubt the design will win any awards, I think it is more inviting than the old design and that is good. The redesign process is being documented and should be available soon.
Faster Back-end.
With the newly written back-end I have tried to speed it up. I have removed a large number of recursive if statements and broken the code down into more pages which load on request. This has reduced all file sizes. While I am still in the process of adding pingback support it is mainly finished.
Working Admin section
I now have a fully working admin section. Most of my old ones seemed to die or become huge security holes very fast in the past. I have spent more time on this one and it shouldn't break so you can expect me to (hopefully) update the site more often.
New Structure
What with my inability to produce anything worth reading regularly I have opted out of the usual blog structure. This site will no more be organized by date. Instead everything is organized by sections. The entries will not be called posts either, but articles. With the change of name I will try and spend more time producing every article. This should improve the quality of my writing.
