This may have been answered before, but I couldn't find it my searching...Philip, what software are you using for the blog? Did you just write it yourself?
Looking at the page source suggests that it's a homemade solution... |
Yep, I think its home grown and features are added from time to time. |
Yeah, it's homemade! The structure of the program is somewhat similar (in concept, not the details) to the Upwarded source, if you're interested: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2006-03-21-n80.html
The forum and blog front-page were two separate programs before, but they've come closer together in the past. There's a bit of a historical reason for this, because I started the blog on Blogger.com with FTP-export, but that didn't support comments.... so I had to add the comments myself, but couldn't really connect the two. Now the two are "loosely joined" in such a way that the forum is connected to blog posts but also works as standalone discussion, which I think was a lucky evolution! |
No, I think its not a "lucky evolution" – it was well crafted!!

yeah, the way the blog, comments, and forum interact is very original but brilliant as well |
numbers are always available. I was browsing for short domains that were available, and while hardly any 4 letter domains were left, once you started throwing numbers in there were countless ones available. even found a three digit domain not taken |
