I moved today the Kaizou specifications pages from the main site to this blog. I had really hard times inserting XML code snippets in the WordPress posts … maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to move the specs … Anyway it will be much simpler for me to edit them when changes occur.
I added today SNAP previews to the kaizou.org site, and I am really happy with the result : the guys at SNAP have done an incredible job !
First, it is really a snap to set it up (ok, lame joke …): you only need to add a little script to your headers, and voila !
Second, it works immediately for external links : you don’t need any caching process to occurr or something …
Third, it also works on Kaizou links ! I was a bit afraid at first that the links to the Kaizou transformations would display the original, unmodified page, but the SNAP preview seems to mimic perfectly the browser behaviour, because the previews actually correspond to the modified pages ! This rocks ! Now I can offer my users a sneak preview of the pages after they have been Kaizoed …
I have finally decided to use a blog powered by Word Press to post news about Kaizou and Kaizou.org.
The Kaizou.org web site, which looks like Word Press, but is actually a custom development, will be from now on entirely dedicated to posting Kaizou files. I will then remove soon the ‘News’ side widget and replace it with a widget pointing to this blog.
I think I will also move the specification pages to this blog, because the Word Press editor is by far easier to use than my text editor !
