Yesterday, this site was unreachable for a few hours, and instead redirected to some random blog on Blogspot. Apparently, someone was able to hack this website, and replaced the index.php with a modified one. I suspect the hacker used an exploit in WordPress, since I was still running WordPress 2.0.2, and didn’t bother to upgrade. Lesson learned.
In one of the next few days, I will be adding advertisements to my blog, served by Project Wonderful. The idea is to make a small revenue out of these, and use the money earned on my blog to promote Chameleon on other websites.
Today, I officially release Chameleon, a blogging platform focused on customizability and extensibility. Its first public version, version 0.5.5 Beta, comes with quite a lot of functionality already included, but with even more still missing. Along the way to 1.0, this functionality will be added, growing Chameleon into a mature blogging solution.
The last few months, I’ve been working on a new project: a personal publishing platform. Originating from a blogging platform, the application I’m currently developing is much more: all different kinds of entries can be managed through it. Whether you want to post articles, blog posts, recipes or images, the system manages them all in the same way, but displays them differently.
Lately, I haven’t really had the time to write a lot of posts, so I’m sorry if you came here to find out nothing had been updated. The last few days, there were also some problems on the hosting side, but that appears to be more or less solved now. I apologize for any inconvenience, but can unfortunately not guarantee it will be better during the next two weeks. I’m going on a vacation, to France, and will probably not have an internet connection, and if I will I probably won’t update the blog anyway.
I’m sorry, but since yesterday the feeds on this site aren’t available anymore. This is caused by the ads displayed on the site. These ads are added by my hosting provider, Clawz.com, because I enjoy free hosting from them. I reported them the error, and I’m trusting them doing something about it, hopefully as soon as possible.
Today, the redesign of my blog completed. The homepage now has featured, popular and recent posts, and my latest del.icio.us bookmarks and flickr photos. All of these also have their own page with more entries, and an RSS feed. The del.icio.us bookmarks and Flickr photos are part of the idea to make my blog my Web 2.0 page.
As previously said (although some time ago), I wanted a new design. About a week ago, I started to make the new design. It looks like Kiwi (borrowed some good ideas, that’s why it’s open source), but I didn’t use Kiwi. This is because I want to keep a certain uniqueness, and all blogs using […]
I recently finished the design of this blog, but I still don’t think it looks like it should. The blog is missing colors and nice buttons. A good design has some colors everywhere, and a better background than this one. The background should at least consist of two lines of paint splashes, instead of two […]
