Nathan's Weblog

Dec 2005

Redbug weblogs online

We just added a new section to our website, weblogs. As the person responsible for adding the weblogs, I have a couple comments about the process.

First, the installation of phpBBBlog was pretty easy. Just download, then drag and drop onto your server.

Second, entering the information in the "configuration" page was relatively simple as well. The page was well commented, and I didn't have any problems.

Third, multi-PHP pages that together render an HTML page are not always the most elegant solution Smile . BBBlog uses about four pages to render the weblog. This isn't a problem if you want to use the standard implementation, but if you're like us, customization is key. After many issues and more trial-and-error, you can see the result.

Last, stylesheets are fun to use, but can be a pain when implementing with your current site. The BBBlog used its own stylesheet which modified such tags as <table>, <td>, <a>, etc. Not normally a problem, but if you want to make everything on your site look the same, it can be a frustrating one.

Please take a look around our weblogs and let me know what you think! Comments and questions are always welcome (either on content, or on the actual site). I would also be interested to know if you find a problem with the weblogs, or any other part of the site. Thanks.
