It is with some trepidation that I type a bunch of junk text with the hope that it will actually look good when I have finished typing.

This seems to be the case and so I am happy.

 

 

Congratulations - you are reading static content!
This blog is part of *D-Web which is rapidly being stitched back together even as you read.
Please remember that no-one has asked you to actually understand this design.

BlogRolling - (supposidly) The best link manager for your weblog and more!...

"There are a lot of tools out there to help you blog without getting your hands dirty - but managing your linklist still means having to crawl through the HTML in your template every time you want to add or remove a link. No more! Now it's as simple as clicking a link or making a pit stop at BlogRolling."

I've tried this blogrolling site and I didn't like it. Not one bit.

I do however have an idea. Do it my self only better.

Given my current knowledge of Java, VBscript and ASP I see no reason why a simple data driven site could not give all of that for free.

[Item ID PK], [URL], [Title], [Date], [=Len$], [List FK]

[Owner PK], [Name], [eMail], [Options]

[List PK], [Name], [Base URL], [Title], [Owner FK]


the Basic Loop would be

OutPut: Document.write("<%=Prior%>")
Select * from links where List=%n%
while not EOF
Output: Document.write(Pre & "<%=Href%>" & Post);
Wend
OutPut: Document.write("<%=Final%>")

Right in theory we can not only do this but in order not to work too hard we could tie it into the GloballyLocal sign-in process. That would deal with user authenication.

In theory there is no reason why this can not be offered to business customers as a business service...
