Trouble doing automatic ping to RubyCorner? »

New face, new features

At last we found time to release a new version of RubyCorner, the Ruby’s Blog Directory. There are a few new things to check:

  • First and obvious, a new design! We are still looking for a good logo ;-)
  • We added a language filter to the Last Updated and Last Registered lists, which allows you to select the languages of the blogs you want to see displayed.
  • Now the ping service is a REST web service still compliant with the weblogs.com XML-RPC standard, supported by most CMSs and blogging services. And now it offers support for “bookmark ping” You can just grab your unique ping URL, bookmar it and visit it whenever you update your blog.

After 5 months online, more than 200 blogs has registered, ranging from Ruby on Rails beginners, to community mavens, and the traffic keeps growing.

We would like to say thank to all the people that has helped us with their suggestions, and support. And particularly to Pat Eyler, and Charles Brian Quin. And off course, we would like to know about your experience with the new design and features.

    I think 10 is too small a number of updates to show; on a busy day entries scroll off after a couple of hours. Maybe back to a smaller font and displaying 20?
