It is done

My website is online

As you can see I have made it, my website is online. What can you expect while surfing here? On one hand it is a site to present my latest and actual projects and on other hand it is a webblog for a few technical articles and of cause a webblog for my voyage to New Zealand.

This site is also a sandbox to try lots of new exiting technologies which are related to the world wide web. As one of my first small testing projects I have coded this blog here to test lots things around the theme of tags. If you don't know what tags about please read wikipedia for more informations. The complete site is an own development project with the use of several frameworks and libraries. For everyone who is interested in the features of this site here is a list of the most interesting once.

  • Used many components of the very sophisticated Zend-Framework
  • One of the main features is multi language support. This site allows me the extend the site with any known language. So if you need a blog article in French just translate it and add it to the article.
    • I have learned from one project that tags can be very difficult if you have to translate them. This blog here separates the tags into languages so that you can choose for each language different tags. This makes sense because some words / tags can't be translated in an one to one relation.
    • All the static site elements like headlines can be edited via an admintration panel and the are also extendable.
  • Massive use the YAHOO Richtext Editor, with lots of enhancements to create contentpages on the fly with WYSIWIG
    • Created a snippeteditor to create codesnippets which can be inserted into the editor just by clicking a button.
    • Add complete layouts to the editor through the snippeteditor.
    • Created an enhanced imageviewer with the use of YUI panels and AJAX
    • Implemented the new Flashswf uploader, to upload images on the fly.
    • Implemented the great Shadowbox which is probably the best adaptation of the famous lightbox.
    • Insert dynamic contents just by clicking a button e.g. a reference or some news.
    • Implemented syntax highlighting
    • echo "das ist PHP";
      foreach($var as $key => $value){
      	echo $value."<br />";
      }
    • and lots of more.
  • Everything is editable via a comfortable admin section.

Maybe you have noticed the big BETA sign near my name. I guess you know what beta means, bugs / errors can happen and yes there are actually a few bugs I have noticed by my self. This site is only optimized for Safari and Firefox, I can't test the IE browser cause of the expensive rates in the internet lounges. Please give me feedback if you noticed a bug or if you think I should implement a feature in a different more efficient way. Actually I populate all private blog messages only for logged in members so if you want to read my blog messages about my New Zealand adventure pls send me a contact message and I will create you an account. Just send me a username and password, you can use my contact form to do that. In the short future I will deliver a registration form to shorten this process. Now, have fun with this site. Tee
