Ein neues Projekt namens Swift hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, unter Windows einen Browser zu entwickeln, der wie Apples Safari-Browser unter Mac OS X auf dem Webkit Framework basiert. Die derzeitige Version 0.1 ist zwar derzeit mangels Bookmarkverwaltung, Benutzeroptionen und dergleichen bestenfalls für ein schnelles Reinschnuppern geeignet, jedoch läßt die Idee an sich hoffen, daß sich mit der Einführung des Swift-Browsers die Webentwicklung standardkonformer Webapplikationen deutlich vereinfachen läßt, da man als Webdeveloper auf diese Weise auch ohne Besitzer eines Macs zu sein die Safari/KHTML-Kompatibilität testen kann.

Mal wieder, wie so oft, durch einen Newseintrag bei heise online bin ich darauf gestoßen, dass der Datenkrake mal wieder etwas Neues an den Start gebracht hat - eine barrierefreie Suche, die nach Angaben von Google beim Ranking der SUchergebnisse insbesondere auch klassische Kriterien für die Barrierearmut bzw. Barrierefreiheit einer Website berücksichtigen soll. Da das Ganze allerdings noch sehr beta ist, sollte man zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht allzu viel in dieser Hinsicht erwarten.

Since I implemented the Asides feature into Binary Blue, I went crazy on its misbehaviours as soon as you don’t use it as inline asides but as sidebar asides instead. Today I finally sat down and dugg once again into the depths of WordPress to find out how to circumvent the issues. I must admit that I only tested the K2 implementation way as it is a pretty convenient one - maybe there are other implementations out there that don’t suffer from these bugs, but at least K2 does. The issues drill down to the following ones: As soon as you have an article defined as Asides that would regularly be displayed on your front page, the amount of posts displayed on the frontpage will be smaller than defined in the blog’s reading options. This may finally result in the display of an empty page, when all of the posts that would usually be displayed on that page are Asides posts. The amount of Asides posts being displayed in the sidebar varies from time to time and often does not reflect the value you’ve set up in the theme’s options. These issues have their reason in the way this feature is implemented so far. There is a check in the file named theloop.php which looks up whether the current post that is handled in the loop is a member of the category that has been defined as the Asides one. If that post is an Asides post, but the configuration is set to display the asides in the sidebar, the complete post will not be displayed. Unfortunately, when theloop.php starts its dance, the complete post query has already been done, so there is no chance to add older posts further down if other posts fall “through the gates” coz of this sidebar asides check.

I have published the groundbreaking 1.1.0 release of the popular Binary Blue theme suite just a couple of minutes ago. This release incorporates two quantum leaps, speaking of blog customization. First, I have fully integrated the latest spinoff of the famous Lightbox JS scripts - the Lightbox JS 2.0 release by Lokesh Dhakar from Huddletogether. Second, and this is the most important part, I have integrated full Sidebar Widgets support into the theme suite. This includes about a dozen different Binary Blue specific widgets, among them degradable AJAX Livesearch, an early release of a configurable Syndication/Feed box and an authorinfo box. Even if you don’t like the Sidebar Widgets for some reason, this has the effect that … Kompletten Post lesen Post schließen Post schließen
