Re: Starting a new Python blog
Hello Everyone! Great news! The blog's theme has been redone completely using help from Twitter's brilliant Bootstrap. The site is now much easier to navigate and find all the content with only 2 clicks from anywhere on the site(you don't even need to scroll). On top of the new site design, I incorporated a nice search bar, which works exactly like Google's search bar. This will make it very easy to locate any content within the site. The search bar only searches Blog entries, and excludes Package lists, tutorials and reviews. I will be adding separate search bars in each of these categories for specific searches in these areas. Thank you all for your many great suggestions on django-users here, and hopefully the site is much more easier for you to navigate. Twitter's Bootstrap also supports mobile browsers, such as the iPhone/ iPad/Android. This should make it much easier to read while on the go. The new navigation bar includes new features such as easy access to the site's RSS feeds, and Archive browsing. Future site features will include an option to easily share articles with others and tweet them on your twitter feed. This blog will use the hash tag, #PythonDiary. If you wish to follow me on twitter, which may have the odd update, it's best to subscribe using RSS in your favorite reader or mobile app. My twitter handle is @kveroneau Kevin Veroneau PythonDiary.com On Jan 30, 11:46 pm, Kevin wrote: > @Aaron, good suggestion, I'll definitely look into it for a future > update, if only Twitter supported RSS feeds. > > @Kate, yes I have considered changing the style of the site.

Re: Starting a new Python blog
@Aaron, good suggestion, I'll definitely look into it for a future update, if only Twitter supported RSS feeds. @Kate, yes I have considered changing the style of the site. I had no idea the template would be so awkward when I first tested it. Now that there's content, the styling really hurts navigation and overall usability. @Wc, I will make the change to open bookmarks in a new window/tab. There is also the live bookmark feature available for Desktop browser users, should work in all major browsers.

Re: Starting a new Python blog
Have you considered changing the styling of your site? It's a bit awkward to look at, since it looks like it was only made to fit on a much smaller screen. Perhaps you could look at Bootstrap, which is a much more flexible CSS framework? Katie On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 8:45 AM, Aaron Cannon wrote: > For me, Twitter is the new RSS.

Re: Starting a new Python blog
It is good to see some subscribers this early on. Thank you. I have rolled out the updates for Tutorials and set the foundation for the Review system by starting a list of packages I frequently use, and hope to later review. I hope to have the full review system live by the end of this week. The tutorials will also use the package list I built to build a list of dependencies required for the tutorial itself. I hope this makes it much easier to follow tutorials by knowing which Python packages will be required before hand. The package list has a summary of the package and a link to the website where it is maintained. There are currently 2 tutorials available for consumption. Both are videos I made on YouTube for Rackspace Cloud last year, so if your curious about how Rackspace cloud works, do check them out. There is a separate RSS feed for the tutorials: http://www.pythondiary.com/tutorials.xml I am planning on making a "Digest" RSS Feed which will contain the latest posts from each section, but will also keep the separate feeds there for subscribers who only want the blog, or just tutorials. The site will remain ad-free for the time being, so that requests are quick for end-users. I made use of the Django caching framework to also increase the response time. I hope to keep the blog site quick and clean. Enjoy!

Starting a new Python blog
Hello Everyone, For sometime now I have been itching to create a Python blog, and now the fruits of my labor have paid off. I am ready to release the blog to the public eyes. At the moment it has 2 main features, a blog portion, and a bookmark system. Both the blog and the bookmark system offer an RSS Atom feed. The bookmark system is fully compatible with "Live Bookmarks" to quickly access some of my top Python sites I visit or visited recently which caught my eye. The website is called "Python Diary", a rather unique take on a tech blog name. The site itself has a diary-like theme, and is for the most part very easily to navigate. The website was completely built using Python, the theme was taken from a wordpress theme website and formatted to work with the Django template system. The entire backend is written from scratch using a few reusable Django apps, namely, django-tagging, south, and cumulus. Now you might be saying, "Oh great, yet another Python blog". But wait... I plan on setting this blog apart from the thousands of other blogs in the world with some very unique features. Features normally found on commercial software blogs, movie and video game blogs is a thorough review system. I plan on going through many of the available Python packages out there in the wild and basically reviewing them like one would review anything else. I do not see a dedicated Python website which has reviews of many Python packages available in PyPi. I plan on stating the usual pros and cons of the package, and providing a score. For example of how this type of review is formatted, take a look at a CNET Review. My new blog can be found here: http://www.pythondiary.com/ Tell me what you think of the website in general, and the overall idea for this blog. If you would like to subscribe to the upcoming content, add this RSS feed to your favorite RSS reader: http://www.pythondiary.com/blog.xml -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
