NorthPack Gets A New Name!
July 13th, 2008 by Dominic Hodgson
We’ve finally done it, we’ve launched our complete rewrite of the northpack back (and front) end.
whilst a few things are missing (twitter intergration and personal stats) we will hopefully get these up within the next few days…
We have however got a few new toys for you to play with
Regions
When you sign up to add your website / blog, we ask you for your region, its not for some strange Google “we love to see where you live” reason, it’s so we can categorise all our posts for a region, you can go to
those are some of the few we started with, if you think there should be your region on there then feel free to email us and if we get more than 3 people for each region, we will add it :), if you don’t set a region your posts will still appear in the archives and tag clouds of the main website….wait a minute….tag clouds?
Yes thats right!.. TAGGING
We’ve introduced automatic tagging of each post as it goes into our database, thanks to those Yahoo blokes for there term extractor API, so we have a nice shiny tag cloud now
and if you wanted to see all the posts tagged google
blogs.northhub.co.uk/tags/google
and if you wanted a feed of all the posts that were tagged google
blogs.northhub.co.uk/tags/google/feed
and if you wanted to see all the blogs in leeds that were tagged google
blogs.northhub.co.uk/leeds/tags/google
and if you wanted a feed of all the blogs in leeds that were tagged google
blogs.northhub.co.uk/leeds/tags/google/feed
do you get the picture?
So we’ve got a bit more stuff to work on and as usual please send us any bug reports
