Web 2.0 Be Damned

Thursday 20th July 2006

Remember that episode of The Brittas Empire where Rimmer Mr Brittas arrives at the gates of Heaven, apparently without any good deeds to his name. “You’ve got a list of good intentions,” says Peter, “but they don’t count for anything I’m afraid.”

My list of good intentions will include my ambitious plan to reengineer HuzboWeb for the Web 2.0 generation, complete with properly object-oriented PHP 4 (rather than the “mess” currently employed), AJAX, a tag cloud, and all that fancy stuff. Unfortunately I got to the planning stage and thought “bugger that”, and another abandoned project was chalked up to laziness.

But look! There are improvements! Exciting developments, even, taking the site up to some kind of Web 1.5 level, possibly. Each post now has a category, indicated by the icon in the top-right corner. Click the icon and you’ll see only the stories in that category.

All right, so certain other sites have had this feature all along – some cynical bastards might even suspect that the only reason this site didn’t have it originally was to avoid the appearance of blatantly ripping others off – but hey, I’m excited.

I’ve put about as much thought into this as the government put into their plans for homebuyers’ packs – or their plans for anything really – so don’t be surprised if it breaks. If it does, please leave a comment so I can get it sorted.

Man, Ryan is never happy. The Joey the FishNET theme has been made even more annoying too. That’s kinda an improvement, depending how you look at the Joey theme to start with. ;)

Hey there. The Huz Experience would be a right pain to administer without WordPress, and would be overrun with spam for questionable knob potions without Akismet. Thanks chaps!
