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.

Last night the database server got changed to something more responsive, but in the course of the event somehow the blog posts before the change seem to be not showing up. I verified in the database itself that they are still there, but for some reason they won’t show up. I’m on it to solve it ASAP. Thank you for your patience.
