CodeStore In Lynx & On Linux

Notice anything different? Blogs are now documents and this is a view. Not only does this make it a whole lot easier for me every day but it also means you can search my ramblings and link directly to each entry - like this. Why I didn't do it this way in the first place is a mystery.

Hopefully all these changes serve their purpose and make this site a lot more accessible. As long as you use an up-to-date browser you should see the same codestore in them all. Even if you use Lynx you'll be okay:

And with a tweak here and there we're okay on Linux as well:

Codestore in Konqueror

Getting there. Slowly...

    Very slick redesign. The CSS layout you've employed exactly shows the power of it, even when CSS's not being used! (lynx anyone?)

    I have a small question on the "under the hood" functionality.

    It'll probably come as no surprise - quote: "Blogs are now documents and this is a view."

    How do you do the layout in your blog entries?

    Do you enter rich text via a Notes client in a blog entry and then parse it to nice and clean lowercase XHTML with DXL?

    So many questions...

    Again, impressive designing -- keep up the good work :-)

    You're way off ;o)

    The way the blogs and these posts work is so simple it hurts. It's just a matter of knowing a few tricks.

    Don't worry I will be talking about it all in an article some time soon...

  1. Guess I'll have to wait for the article. I've been using this method for some time now, but just recently tried adding images. That's when I realized I needed to re-visit my process. Can't wait for you to share. Keep up the great work!

    Judging from the clean HTML of the blogs, it looks to me that you're typing them in (X)HTML. To my knowledge, Domino doesn't render rich text fields to such clean HTML, with closing

    tags and all. Anyway, I would be delighted to know how you did it, it looks superb!
