Purpose

The purpose of this journal is for site developers to communicate ideas with other people, as well as with viewers of the site. Things which are appropriate here are items such as suggestions, comments, bug reports, and perhaps even code-snippets.

This entry is sticky (because the date is set to 2007 ;)) and will always appear here at the top of the journal to explain the purpose of the dev account.

Developers are advised to leave their name at the end of each entry to this journal, since every post in it will come from the account name 'dev'. I hope to improve this sometime.

Bugs from users

If you wish to report a bug in the site, whether it be code (html or php), graphics, or even spelling, please simply comment on one of the entries below.

Getting developer access

If you would like access to post in this journal, please contact me and I will grant you such.

New features for the new site:

"Sticky" private articles - so you can write an introduction for your weblog.
Internal messaging system to contact other members. Messages will be stored locally, and an email notification sent to you when you have new (unread) ones.

This is a test of the nowiki tag.

Well, that doesn't work!

These are the features I currently have planned for afeared.org version 6 (this is v5, by the way) this list will be added and edited as neccessary so it is by no means final.

* The site will be written in J2EE, and will use the Spring or Struts framework MVC. Tapestry will be used for rendering the web tier, and Hibernate will be used as a persistence framework for O/R mapping.
* Public journal on the front page. Probably less prominent though.
* Multiple users
* Password protection
* Journal groups.
* Photologs
* User webcams will be statically linked, and public webcam addition/removal.
* User profiles (optional)
* Posting to blogs/photologs via mobile phone
* File storage (for images, photologs etc) this will be quota'd however, probably to something like 5mb.
* Skinning support using pure CSS - this will also be per user, so you can add/modify skins at will.
* RSS Feeds of all types of blogs.
* Web Service for blogging functions
* Protected/private/public journal functions.
* Other things.

If you have any suggestions, comment.

Make the link in post open in a new window. This will help people read the post in a more linear fashion.

RSS feed now displays properly parsed HTML.

It was never broken, but for some reason i thought at the time people might want to read the RSS feed with unparsed wiki code instead of images and formatting. Don't even begin to ask why, because I just don't know.

Obviously, I have now thought better of it, and the RSS feed is now feeding out real HTML code.

Additionally, I have also been working out some sort of community system so that people don't have to login as 'dev' anymore, but will simply be able to post to 'dev's journal. This should be a much better solution.

Added login link to site title-bar
Fixed the archive so that it er... works again. Also made it more navigable. Yeah, navigable.
You can log out again now too... stupid sessions.

I do, I really hate test postings.

I've hopefully (if you can see this article), implemented the preview function for journal entries as well as fixed a slight bug (stripslashes) in the comment preview function.

Hey You could show when someone adds something to their personal journal. Like have the subject of their last journal under their name so if they make a perosnal entery people can see when they come to the front page. Just something so we can see what posts have ben made.
