In the last few days I've spent some time configuring my site.
First of all,
here's a new wiki. Now everyone visiting norbert.mocsnik.hu is redirected there. The wiki I finally chose is
dokuwiki. Its a great software written in PHP and it
needs no installation! All it needs is its files to be uploaded to the server. Because I wanted to disable editing for everyone except me, I had to set up a simple authentication scheme but it was only about editing 2 or 3 plaintext files,
took no more than 10 minutes. The things I like the best in DokuWiki are its
file-based storage (yes, plaintext), the built-in
namespace support and the clean look. What I don't like in it is that it doesn't support user comments. Yet. :)
The other thing I did is upgrading to the latest version of my preferred blog engine,
Serendipity. Now I have this new layout, the gray color of the text sucks but the template itself is okay. Maybe one day it'll make me upset enough to replace the color entry in the stylesheet. S9Y has a new
Smarty-based solution for templating anyways. To be honest, I'm not a Smarty-fan.. but it's better than nothing and works well.
I've added two LinkedIn buttons, one to the main page of the wiki and one to the blog. The wiki also needed some time to get filled with the info that it has now.
One more thing I installed is
lilina, a
blog aggregator written in PHP. Needs no installation, similarly to DokuWiki: upload it to your server and grant write access to two directory entries. That's all and you have your own blog aggregator for the blogs you read. If you can't picture it, take a look at
Planet-PHP. Lilina doesn't support categories yet so I installed it twice, one goes for the business, the other for the web development-related blogs.
