Skins, Updates, More

1 min read

Just caught up 10 days worth of Neighborhood posts.  I now have Vox fatigue combined with Vox guilt.  I didn't even read comments, for shame :(  After this post I'll need to check on the 'ol LiveJournal Friends page.  Don't even ask about the umpteem BlogLines blogs stuck at 200 posts...

Hi5 has a new Skins system that actually can make profile pages look good.  I had some input early on and made sure Vox and the SixApart styles were part of the inspiration.  It's coming out really well and we've received over 200 submissions.  Check out the snazzy new profile page?  Designers can check out the specs page.

Embeds are evil.  They mess up divs and tables and are often pasted in haphazardly.  Amit  came up with an amazing solution.  Use JTidy to clean up the user submitted content.  Tags match and broken html goes bye-bye!

Now back to the super-secret Hi5 Project Funk.

Like many others (and Vox/LJ itself) Hi5 was affected by the power outage in Colo 4 in 365 Main.  We blogged about it over at the Hi5 Blog.

Hi5 Blog goes live today

1 min read

We're living on the edge over here at Hi5.  Our new Movable Type 4 base blog is now available at http://www.hi5networks.com/blog/

The whole company is getting involved and you'll see plenty of interesting information to come.

Also, from a technical standpoint, MT4 has proved a winner.  The memcached support in Data::ObjectDriver means that we can run via plain CGI, saving a bunch of time and effort to get this up and going.

We should have 3-4 posts per week.  Sadly I didn't get a chance to finish implementing userpics for MT4, but that should come shortly.
