Somewhere in… Blog

16/12/2005

Today we released the long waited Somewhere in… Blog ! Its a community blog totally based on Bangla language. You can write posts in bangla, add categories in bangla, tag in bangla, search in bangla, and so on !!!

Being the lead developer of the system, I always emphasized to make the system damn easy for all kinds of users. We managed to place the admin panel of the system right into the normal pages, that means, the user doesnt need to move to a seperate admin panel to manage her posts, categories, etc.

Thanks goes to Hasin bhai for his excellent contribution in the bangla writing system, to Hasan and Misho bhai for the on-spot editing functions in Javascript, to Arild for the blog design, to Deborah apa, Didar bhai, Shahana apa for their excellent support throughout the time, and to everybody out there for whom we built this.

I hope all our efforts will be worth when we’ll see people are using this system to express their thoughts, after all thats why we actually started this !

Nifty Corners – rounded corner in css, no image

11/12/2005
Have you ever tried to make the beautiful rounded corners for your site’s sections ? If you have tried, then you know the pain of creating the edge images, positioning them, seeing in different browsers whether they look ok or not…..and so on !

Well, Nifty Corners has a different thought. Its author, Alessandro Fulciniti, has invented a life-saving technique of making the round corners by using only css and a bit javascript. And for the developers, its a breeze to use: include the css and js file and call a function

Rounded("div#nifty","#377CB1","#9BD1FA");

!!!

I have already started using it and I hope many of will start using it immedialtely you discover its power and simplicity.

Take care everybody !

Hello world!

8/12/2005

How many times I have started blogging and left it after being active for some days ? Well, everybody around me is angry with me for this crazy behaviour of myself. Perhaps I dont get that much time for blogging, perhaps I am not that organized either. But, I will start again, lets see if I can keep my promise to my near and dear ones.

And another thing is, I love WordPress. I have tested a lot of blogs and cms, but somehow WP is the one that I like most. Is it becauz it has so good internal system for programmer ? Or for its vast collection of Plugin and Theme ? Well, I dont know, but I like it.

And I am loving this new version a LOT !!!

Take care everybody
