Site Updates
Stephen B. - June 6th, 2007

Despite the apparent recent-inactivity of the site, we’ve been making a few changes behind the scenes. There have been the usual small tweaks and fixes – E.g., author names of news items are now EMail links, registration and login links have been added to the lefthand navigation (handy for frequent comment-posters), some requested links have been added, etc.

One fairly significant new feature has been added: the News Aggregate page. It contains links to several BeOS / Haiku-related sites and their latest headlines (grabbed via RSS). I’ve been using a similar page to keep track of BeOS-related news – hopefully others will find it useful as well. If there are any requests to add (or remove) a feed, please contact us or post a comment.

And one old feature has been added – for lack of a better description. After a few people had written in asking where to find articles from the old version of the site, I finally got around to finding a way to import the old articles into the current, shiny WordPress-powered version. WordPress has a handy option to import articles from the contents of an RSS feed (in a .xml file) – so while it’s not entirely perfect (images are missing, old comments weren’t imported either), the majority of the precious, precious content is is there. Even the horrible, horrible puns.

Stay tuned for a few more tweaks and new additions – and maybe even a few news items (*gasp*).
