This project has been brewing for almost a year, and has been a full-time responsibility for some of us for more than six months. Here are some of my favorite changes for readers http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/may/17/design-decisions-and-highlights-scripps-newest-loc/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/apr/6/finding-django-friendly-host-just-got-little-easie/Djangofriendly celebrated its first birthday in March. In its first year, more than 16,000 visitors came by to find and share knowledge on hosting Django applications with various hosts. To celebrate Djangofriendly's birthday, I've gone into a bit of a code sprint, the first phase of which concluded this morning as the new code went live... http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/apr/6/finding-django-friendly-host-just-got-little-easie/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/mar/15/django-sxsw-lunch-meetup/Hey all you Djabgo devs roaming the halls of SXSW: let's do lunch... http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/mar/15/django-sxsw-lunch-meetup/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/dec/4/hosting-subversion-webfaction/Recent projects at work have finally led me to incorporate Subversion into my Django development workflow. Once I saw the light, I wanted to manage my personal and client projects with the same efficiency, but hesitated to sign up for SVN hosting services on my own dime. Turns out I could add SVN hosting to my existing WebFaction account. Here's how. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/dec/4/hosting-subversion-webfaction/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/oct/27/django-development-os-x-using-local-media-server/Host static media from outside of Django while developing locally. For some, this solution will be rather obvious. For anyone else, I hope this helps your workflow like it helped mine. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/oct/27/django-development-os-x-using-local-media-server/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jul/17/django-back-dreamhost/An email I received from Dreamhost indicated official support for running Django. After email correspondence with Dreamhost support, it's clear that Django is still not officially supported, but it should run better than it did before they made some recent changes. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jul/17/django-back-dreamhost/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jul/2/basics-creating-tumblelog-django-part-2/Since posting "The basics of creating a tumblelog with Django," I've received some requests to explain how to get these tumblelog items to actually show up on my homepage. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jul/2/basics-creating-tumblelog-django-part-2/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/24/basics-creating-tumblelog-django/On my new homepage, a combined list of my tweets, bookmarks, and user comments on my site appear underneath my latest blog entries. I use a fun bit of Django code to pull these various items together, sorted by publication date, and I'd like to share how this bit of tumblelog-like functionality works. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/24/basics-creating-tumblelog-django/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/19/same-ground-stronger-foundation/Ahh, the thrill of launching a new website. Then realizing you missed a few details before you flipped the DNS switch. Then rushing to get them fixed before anyone notices. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/19/same-ground-stronger-foundation/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/17/new-foundation-django/According to the Lawrence Journal-World, Django is now owned by a new, nonprofit, organization. The Django Software Foundation, based in Lawrence, now owns the trademark and intellectual property that form the basis for the application that is used to create increasingly popular Web publishing programs http://ryanberg.net/blog/2008/jun/17/new-foundation-django/
