I blogged previously about creating a new orangefever, and had been working the last few weeks on o5, my codename for this new version. Since I registered orangefever.net, I think I’ve created 5 major versions of this site hence the name. I had started out planning to make it all Web 2.0-y, but as I played around with some ideas, I came to realize that I couldn’t really make a blog UI very flashy (or couldn’t think of how to). The major Web 2.0 type things would be on the admin interface; stuff that doesn’t matter to you.

So I went ahead and recycled my code, adopted some best practices that I had learned since my last major version, and continued my evolution to a complete CSS layout. I was almost done, except for the comments section, when I couldn’t stand working on it anymore. So, now you see o5 released the public.

As I mentioned, the commenting system is not upgraded yet, you can still add comments, although you have to be logged in, but I want to make it refresh automatically, and pluggable into the individual post pages. Stuff that I suppose I will work on when I’m less busy.
