- No front-runner, Democrats plot strategy for race to nomination I'm sorry, y'all....

- I was taken aback by Colin Allison's departure note and in order to have a balanced view, I searched for the blog that offended him. I was then surprised again, -it has been deleted. This is a privately run, for profit service, with rules and acceptable behaviour code, -it reserves the right to delete content it finds unacceptable. However, the ethos here is of e-citizenship and by the nature of it, a democracy. Deleting a blog is censorship, clear and simple, and I think it is contrary to the ethos Ecademy itself is creating. |

- Nadat ik mijn site mooi had omgebouwd ( xml'etjes per maand, mooie pagelets die eigenschappen van elkaar overerven ) was een van de handige zaken dat ik dezelfde pagina kon aanroepen met de aanduiding van jaar en maand en dat vervolgens die pagina vanzelf de juiste xml uitkoos en die dynamisch op de pagina invoegde (zie archieven).Ideaal zou je zeggen, vooral omdat bij elke layout wijziging alle archieven ook automatisch de nieuwe layout krijgen (hetzelfde geldt overigens voor de comments).Helaas pikken zowel Altavista als Google nu niet meer dit soort dynamische pagina's op zodat geen enkele archief pagina daar nu meer aanwezig is ( buiten de oude fixed pagina's). Echt super irritant, maar volgens mij is er niet echt een oplossing voor. |
