Another Site Update
January 12, 2007
It’s time to announce another site update. This one is pretty minor, but hopefully visitors to the site actually use it. I have update how Mr Papa’s World handles it’s archives of old posts.
In the sidebar, you will see a block that lists all the archive information that is available. You can search/peruse the archives by author, category, date or tags. I also have the polls archive available. After selecting how you want to browse the archives, you will be presented with list of items available under that archive type.
When you select the sub-type (ie author name, category name, month or tag), you will be presented with a list of posts that match that criteria. Each post will give you an excerpt of that entire post. This is where the fun begins. This is my first foray in the world of Ajax. Ajax is neat in that it allows you to add/change content on a page without reloading the entire page. In this case, if the excerpt interests you, click on the show entire post link and the excerpt will change to the entire post as if you had visited that particular post page.
You can hide posts that you have ajaxed or you can ajax open additional pages too. Hopefully, this new feature makes searching the archives easier and more user friendly. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Site Update
January 6, 2007
Once again, I have made a few changes to Mr Papa’s World. I have added a section in the sidebar for historical archives. You can search the archives by author, by date, by category or by tag. The archives section also contains an archive of the polls I have run here at Mr Papa’s World.
In addition, I have added a new sidebar feature that is the most popular posts on Mr Papa’s World. A while back I added the popularity feature to my posts to track which posts are being read the most. Now that there is some history built up, I am displaying the most popular posts.
Suzanne has posted a bunch of pictures and a rehash of my daily log from our recent Celebrity Mercury cruise to Mexico over at her cruise blog Cruise Talk Central. She has included a whole bunch of pictures from the trip too – more than I uploaded here at Mr Papa’s World. Stop on by and check it out.
If you havent stopped on by the new local community site that I launched, Sonoita Web, wander over there and let me know what you think. I spent a fair amount of my Christmas holiday launching that site. Traffic has started slow, but is picking up. We are contemplating taking out an ad in the local paper announcing the site to drive up traffic. I hope the community embraces the site and comes together there.
I haven’t looked at my genealogy stuff lately, so its about time. One of my visitors has sent me a bunch of info that I need to go through, so I may find some nuggets there. Also, while on our Cloudcroft, NM holiday trip, Suzanne’s Dad, Brett, gave me a whole packet of info on his family. Its research that has been handed down for a while. Again, should be able to find some good info in there.
I hope the New Year is finding everyone well…
