AVR32 Linux Developer Blog
28 May 2006 - 13:54 in tagged by HaavardSkinnemoen
Let's try to use the Blog plugin for site news.
This is one of the first blog postings I've ever made, so please bear with me.

I've been thinking a lot about the best ways to implement a "News page" on a site, and I've come to the conclusion that a Blog is probably the way to go. This way, you can easily provide a title, a "teaser", which will probably end up as the actual news item, and some more in-depth information that will be only visible to people that actually do want to know more (the real blog entry.)

So I'm going to give it a spin and see how it works out. The Blog plugin depends on a huge amount of other wiki plugins, which makes me a bit sceptical about how robust this whole thing is but hey, there's only one way to find out.

If you want to be able to post blog entries on your own, please drop me a message either as a comment here or as mail to _wremoId0. I want to restrict this ability to people who actually do any development or testing on the AVR32 Linux projects, though.

Oh by the way, if you're using Internet Explorer and think the AVR32 penguin logo at the top of the page looks ugly, it's because Microsoft still hasn't figured out how to render PNGs properly. There are workarounds, but I don't really want to "fix" things that aren't broken in the first place. Please consider using a real browser.
