Adding a new section on Broadband News

Tags: , , , ,

This has been made possible by addition of Plugin called as Wp-O-Matic. Basically it fetches RSS feeds, parses it and adds the topical posts here. The main link is hyperlinked to the origin of the post.

The need was sorely felt because I am unable to post as much as I want to. Further, I strongly believe that the news should be updated on a continual basis so that the index remains fresh. This is experimental feature and has nothing to do with any kind of SEO. I strongly feel that DSL Reports is doing a great job of indexing the content across the blogosphere and very much keeping in focus with the aspirations of this blog too.

There is a lot that can be done with the RSS feeds; although I am interested in topical categorization on the main page itself but it amounts to huge amount of link which would only mess up the structure here.

The maximum limit is that of “10 feeds” based on a simple cron job (which does the heavy lifting of caching the content here) and to be honest I should have done it earlier. The only downside is the lack of “automatic application” of tags which would generate a lovely tag cloud…but there would be some solution lurking around.

Word Press 3.1 and even more changes

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Trust me; I am gung ho about the new semantic web technology. It’s the integrated whole that excites me.

Sadly, we don’t get to see a lot of development in India. Call it stupidity or callousness but I would strongly argue that most of the “IT Whiz Kids” can’t even write a line of code. As my friend says, they are just script kiddies, bottom of the food chain where they feed on scraps. I mean look at Open Source and see the development of Linux. Where are we in the chain? No where.

I am also happy for 3.1 released today and updated “automatically” by a click of a button.

I have also integrated Zemanta (a blogging tool) to assist me around and try and get the best of the articles. Although, there is a “plug-in” for Word Press but an extension for Google Chrome works just fine. Brilliant stuff; although I am surprised that I haven’t used it in a long time. It makes it easy to update the links in a flash (all the while actually analyzing the context of the write up).

Linking is the key; generating a tag cloud which back links would make it better.

has a new meaning for me altogether now!

WordPress 2.7-beta2

Tags: ,

I am loving the slick interface. Thanks to my webmaster, Sushubh, who has installed the same. I am amazed at the execution of such wonderful application and it’s slowly reaching the refiness of a closed source. The best part is that despite being free, it generates money for the people who develop the same out there. It’s worth the effort to provide a safe and a reliable platform for the people to type out their thoghts.
