Blog Enhancements

June 15, 2005 by Michele Neylon 1 Comment

I decided to make a few enhancements to my blog this evening. I was meant to be doing something more productive, but I got sidetracked playing with WordPress 🙂
This site can be a bit sluggish at times due to the number of MySQL queries running (executing) at any given time, so Niall suggested that I should cache it.. I finally got round to doing so this evening.
WP-Cache basically stores a copy of the files on the system of the files on the system, so they don’t need to be compiled each time they are requested. It would obviously benefit a site with more traffic than this one, but I’m getting a bit tired of the random MySQL restarts that I’ve become accustomed to executing
I also added another minor Amazon hack – it needs some tweaking to get it working with the current release of WP and I’m not 100% happy with the way it’s displaying ….
I also installed a contact form and the “subscribe to comments” plugin.

    I think every citizen Journalist blogger would be impressed with having a great looking site as yours already seems to be …
    CODA: It’s one of the hottest buzzwords in the news business these days. Many news executives are probably thinking about implementing some sort of citizen-journalism initiative; a small but growing number have already done so.
    But there’s plenty of confusion about citizen journalism. What exactly is it? Is this something that’s going to be essential to the future prosperity of news companies?
    In my conversations and communications with editors, I sense plenty of confusion about the concept. There’s enthusiasm about experimenting in some quarters — about harnessing the power of an audience permitted for the first time to truly participate in the news media. But mostly I hear concern and healthy skepticism.
    So let’s explore the possibilities, from dipping a toe into the waters of participatory journalism to embracing citizen reporting with your organization’s full involvement. We’ll start out slow and build toward the most radical visions of what’s possible.
