Planet Blender v2 beta2 – In The Fast-Lane
After a long period of being busy with family and other important things, I finally got around to doing something with Planet Blender. The speed of v2 beta1 was frankly quite awful, and I was looking into doing something with clean and small code.
I searched for solutions and finally I tried my hand on Web.py. In 10 minutes I rewrote the front-end to something that is nice compact and easy to maintain. I dropped also the resource hog javascript (dojotoolkit) so that the site is now nice fast compared to the previous version. I imagine that browsing Planet Blender is now easier also for those that use addons like NoScript and filtering solutions. There’s still enough left to do (like a proper layout), but with the new code in place I should be able to write more code in shorter time (I’m just more comfortable writing Python than PHP… )
I hope you enjoy coming to this Planet Blender and find information and news to your liking.

Thanks a lot for the upgrade, Nathan. Just a little request, though. Could you bring back the “Older” and “Newer” navigation buttons for the posts made. It’s really helpful if we have a navigation system within PB so people who have been absent on the day of the news could easily browse through the rest which are unread and hidden due the newer posts added. Thanks so much. ^_^
‘Grats.
