Goodbye Wordpress, Hello ... ?

▁ apr 15 2008

You might notice that I’ve gotten rid of Wordpress. What I’m using now instead is something Jesper Noehr started, and I’ve modified a little bit. I hope the transition will be as painless as possible.

Of course, this new system isn’t as fancy and feature complete as Wordpress, but the code is pretty simple and it’s easy to extend. Jesper has for instance extended it with an interface to hgweb and Flickr.

It’s built using Django, which is a pretty neat little framework. I call it the Rails of Python, which Jesper hates. ;)

Redirects from old URLs should be up soon.

Update: Redirects in place! Seems to be working ok.

Jesper, 8 months, 3 weeks ago:

Oh cool, I never thought anybody would use this. Mainly wrote it for my own consumption! I’m glad you find it useful.

I know you branched the trunk a while back, but I’d highly encourage you to merge one of these days. I’ve added some new cool things, some of which are relevant to you:

  • Akismet for comments (spam filter, we used it on my.opera, remember?)
  • Some changes to menu-construction, the URL segment now supports tuples w/ regex too!
  • /b/ is no longer needed, / defaults to it
  • I’ve put an OpenID delegate (v1 & v2) in there as well, which means you can use your own domain as an OpenID identity (without any hassle. It’s just a delegate to myopenid.com, or any other server.)
  • Lots’a bugfixes

I don’t know if you’ve modified too far in to have your changes merged with trunk (blueprint, e.g.), but if not, I’d be glad to adopt your changes.
