Further to previous discussions, it gives me some pleasure to announce
that I have done something about devoncornwall.pm.org.
Site now does some stuff.
Updates:
Markup:
- XHTML 1.1 and CSS2 certified compliance.
- I have bitten the bullet and put it in a big table for Nutscrape users.
- Seriously cut down on the image content.
Pictures:
- Used the GIMP to do a cleaner header which blends into style for title
bar.
Features:
- Click on `Add Content' for a bunch of stuff list members can add:
- `News' ticks by the front page in reverse order.
- `User details' go in your own user details.
- `Links' are randomly displayed in the Links box.
- `Reviews' go into the review section.
I have not done `Comments' or `Tutorials' yet.
Note:
To enter stuff requires a username and password. Your user name is your
own first name. Password FOR NOW is `password' - I will obviously
change this if we actually use it.
It is in Perl, yeah. I was drunk when I did a lot of it but I can't
wait so tidying up comes later ;)
Caveats:
1. It is valid markup only insofar as no one enters any invalid markup -
I can't help that!
2. It is displaying the URL as opposed to the title of Steve's review
not because it is broken but because I am unable to follow my own
instructions!
3. If you cannot log in, it is because I have never heard of you.
Message me and I will set you up. There is also an `Anonymous' account
for testing purposes - I can forward the password for that to interested
parties if necessary.
So:
I invite readers to input some crap in the `News' section or in their
own personal details and feedback to me - new features that are required
I will do as time allows.

Thanks very much,
