Regents Scholars Society, Relaunched Again!

Saturday August 9th, 2008

Tonight, I've just launched davisrss.org the successor to ucdrss.org. I'm super proud of how much simpler this site is than the one before it, and it still has all of the same basic functionality. The admin section is also more improved, and acts like a real content managing system. This is high quality stuff!

Squeaky-Clean URLs

Thursday July 31st, 2008

Starting tonight, zachmargolis.com has clean URLs for archive posts and tags. Wait, huh?

Well if you want to view post number 56, instead of going to zachmargolis.com/archive.php?postid=56 you can go to the much more user-friendly zachmargolis.com/archive/56. It's definitely not a revolution, but this is my first run-in with Apache's mod_rewrite functions.

Starting tonight, the RSS feed will also use these new URLs. I decided not to go back and re-link all of the legacy posts on the RSS file because then readers would see 20 or so brand new posts that are actually recycled, because of the way RSS feeds are marked as new or old.

I'm Still Here! Promise.

Tuesday July 29th, 2008

My summer is kind of moving quickly, and so I've been neglecting my site a pinch. This post is mainly just so that I don't skip the month of July.

I'm getting a lot of practice with Javascript, and my new favorite sites are Quirksmode and A List Apart because the people who make those sites favor accessibility and all that yummy trendy web stuff, too. When the next iteration of this site is done, it will have better support for user agents (not just browsers) that do not use images or Javascript.

Until next time, amigos!
