genuineBlogger now has it's own template

Sunday, October 14, 2007

Not realizing how hard that can be to edit over a hundred blogs at once, i decided to wear a uniform to all GenuineBlogger.com websites.

I searched a lot of websites for ready made blogger templates, but almost all results were in html (the old blogger) and those that are for the new version were really badly written, sorry authors but most of what i saw was poorly coded.

Not thinking a lot, i took Blogy-PRO template from DesignDisease.com and re-wrote it from scratch and applied it to all network subdomains. You could imagine how many times i needed to click widgets on each of the blogs to edit preferences to match my new template.. That was a pain in the pants. :D

Anyway, i hope everyone enjoys the new look and feel of the genuineBlogger network, i am now heading to make some changes on the design of the main interface at GenuineBlogger.com Blog Spy.. Cya in a few..

Welcome to genuineBlogger(c)

Today, after 3 long months of hard work, i m putting online this new web project called genuineBlogger(c).

While the genuineBlogger.com domain name displays live monitoring of our system, the main news and improvements will be discussed here on Blogger.com's servers used in our project itself.

In the meantime, i am still putting online all my feed servers and configuring forgotten settings here and there. Very soon, you will find complete documentation of the system here at this blog's pages.

In a nutshell,
We are a team of four web developers working on the main idea introduced by Ruslan Abuzant earlier this year.

Each of us have his own web-interface where we access the same database of genuineBlogger's service. Here's a quick overlook:


  • One interface is for the data-entry where initial category keywords are inserted into the system.


    We deny to accept the idea that our system is made for adsense. But as the system can be blogging about pepsi and mcdonalds, why don't i configure it to blog about finance and mortgages? It's google forcing us to make everything more adsense-compatible. :D




  • One interface where we monitor the list of over 1200 crontab jobs running all over the clock to syndicate data from our paid newswire subscriptions (*and free ones of course). This one is a complete data routing protocol and was the hardest chain in our system. Thanks codeIgniter.com



  • One interface is CRM-alike. This one is for managing affiliate accounts we advertise, API subscriptions, marketing issues and other intra-system bug tickets or conversations.



  • And of course, my interface..

    I do SEO, Adwords, Adsense, Analytics, website traffic analysis and of course continue to build extension modules for the system.


That was briefly. I am just very much into putting all 8 cache-servers online. Getting a VLAN done on today's VPS packages seems very complicated, but we're working.
