 | Topic: Blogroll | |
I have added a “Blogroll” to the weblog. I will write this up in more detail in a weblog entry. | ||
Write-up now available: http://tinyurl.com/2gfqo | ||
I have changed the way the blogroll works slightly. Rather than simply dump all the links out, the blogroll now operates more like a stack. The 20 most recently updated blogs are listed. Links move in and out of the stack depending on their age. | ||
Recent downtime at blo.gs has highlighted a problem with the blogroll handler. Namely, when the cached blogroll has expired (older than 1 hour) it is deleted from the database - thus, if blo.gs is down, no blogroll is displayed. I have added a second-level cache to workaround this. A blogroll should always be available from now on, regardless of the status of blo.gs. |
