RubyCorner’s Blog

Now you can add the RubyCorner search as a search provider to your browser.

This feature works in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox (1.5+ y 2.0). I didn’t test it but should works too in Mozilla, Netscape 6+ and Camino.

Just click the “Add this search to your browser” link and let your browser install the search provider.

We just added to RubyCorner a custom search engine (cse) using Google Co-op.

The goal is to provide a vertical search feature over the Ruby and Rails blogsphere. This CSE allows to search in all the blogs registered at RubyCorner (until now up to 240), and other sites like ruby-lang, ruby-forum, mailing lists, etc.

We just added a new feature to RubyCorner, a Blogs by Language lists. In order to help to categorize the blogs based on the language in which its written.
At the moment RubyCorner has blogs written in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Norwegian, Portuguese and German.

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.
