impworks Smarty Migration Done

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

I’ve finished updating my impworks website tonight to move it to using smarty templates. I’ve cut a few pages I wasn’t happy with. Now I can start adding new content again and a some new features too.

Almost Smarty

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Translated almost all of the remaining pages on my impworks site to smarty templates today. Just a couple of little tweaks left to make to the templates and a couple of pages that have special features to do. Then I can start adding new pages and some bits that will be easier with the smarty […]

How (Not) to Get Links and Influence People

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

I’m not going to claim to be some sort of expert on blog promotion. I knowingly break several of the rules on how to have a really popular blog. If you’ve not guessed yet there is a but coming sometime so without any thought for the rules of English grammar here it is: BUT one […]

Smarty Experiments

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Spent a few hours tonight playing with smarty templates to decide what the best way is to set up the templates for impworks for the main content. I think I’ve hit on a solution I like. Now all I have to do is sort out any fiddly bits and dress the content up to work.

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I’ve been wanting to start using Smarty Templates with PHP for a while. Finally got to today. I suspect in a few months I’ll wonder how I ever coded PHP without them.

Google Sitemapped this Blog

Friday, July 21st, 2006

I’ve been using Google Sitemaps on the impworks site for a month. I’d not realised I could use it on a blogger using the atom feed until I was browsing the web earlier. It hardly took any time to do. Log in to Google Sitemaps using your Google account (or sign up first if you […]

Vue News Blog

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I got really fed up when searching the web the other night for some information about Vue that I’ve started a new collaborative Blog just to try to collect Vue news. Jim Coe is going to be contributing too. If you would like to help out with an occasional post drop me an e-mail mark@www.impworks.co.uk […]

Pull the other one it has bells on!

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

I won’t be getting the hour back I just spent writing README files for all the Vue Python scripts I’ve put on my site. I wouldn’t have bothered but I started getting some weird e-mails about redistributing the scripts on DVD at my expense. I’ve not seen that scam before and I can’t see many […]
