Posted Fri, 07/14/2006 - 20:35 by John Breslin

journals.ie - Free Irish Blogs

At last I rid journals.ie of that old Kubrick template, now we have lots more content on the page including all latest blog and forum posts, irishblogs tagged content from Flickr, Technorati, Upcoming, Planet Journals, etc. Does anyone tag stuff on del.icio.us with irishblogs?

What's New at Planet Journals.ie?

Posted Sun, 04/09/2006 - 18:12 by John Breslin

As you may know, Planet of the Blogs rebranded as Planet Journals.ie on its first birthday (1st April 2006).

Since then, we've upgraded MySQL from 4.0 to 4.1 to allow for nested queries (hence the downtime during the week while we dumped, upgraded MySQL and reimported the database), and we are now using the latest version of the Planet PHP aggregator by chregu.
