Juan Céspedes - blog 

• Added a "blog cloud" widget
• Permalink pages (pages with just one entry) have its blog title as HTML title
• Permalink URLs contain part of its title
• Added a calendar widget, so that we can see older entries

I have had a long pause due to internationalization issues...

Now, every blog entry has (or better, can have) different content in Spanish and English pages.

In fact, it has been working for a while, but until today I couldn't create new entries :-)

Well, I finally managed to automate the publishing of my pictures, and all the pictures from march to June 2010 are already online.

Moreover, the Photolog is growing and growing... I have 32 entries right now and my idea is to have one or two entries per week

I have been working for the last few days in improving my web pages (www.cespedes.org and juancespedes.es), specifically the blog and pictures parts (in fact, I have removed all the other parts).

Regarding the blog, well, it is now a real blog :-). I can add entries (like this one) and edit previous ones from a web browser. All the entries are stored in a PostgreSQL database. Every entry has its own, permanent link. People can add comments, and all of them are visible from the permalink in each page.

Regarding the pictures, I have simplified the URLs used to navigate throw them, in order to speed up navigation and to help the web crawlers. The list of all the pictures (more than 64,000) are also stored in the database, and I have added captions to the pictures with localization (in order to show different things in Spanish and in English), and I have created labels to tag each picture.

To-Do list: improve/automate the way I upload pictures, store and show scanned images, crop/rotate pictures, create albums, save list of people in each picture, show Exif information, save the place where each picture was taken...

It is XHTML 1.1 Strict compliant and CSS compliant, and it is finally integrating my (several) other pages, such as my pictures page and my blog (yes, *this* blog ;-)), but it isn't quite finished yet.

Given that it is written in Perl, I spent several hours to debug it :-(

It is called blosxom, and it is really easy to install and set up.

And now, let's see if I am able to go on writing stories...
