| 2008 November 7th | - Eliminated the use of tables in displaying blog entries. This should reduce data traffic and speed up client-side browser rendering.
|
| 2008 October 13th | - Added an email alert whenever a SQL query fails.
|
| 2008 September 16th | - Moved About and Updates link to the bottom of the page. Added a search section on the right menu. Attempted to simplify navigation menu.
|
| 2008 September 11th | - Non-FFXI related entries will now be hidden from the home page by default.
Registered users can still choose to view them by changing the setting in the "profile & settings" page.
This change affects TTTO's home page only. The blogger's page will continue to show everything.
This moderation will be done by me alone and manually for now. So it might take a few days as I can't check the new entries frequently.
Perhaps in future I might throw in a few features to allow registered users to help moderate the entries.
|
| 2008 September 3rd | - Made some structural changes to the code to accommodate friendlier title tags.
|
| 2008 April 21st | - Moved to a new server, TTTO acquires it's own domain name, http://tarutarutimes-online.net/.
|
| 2008 March 25th | - Minor tweaks to the CER calculation formula. Score decays by the second instead of 4 intervals, updated each time blog is indexed.
Current formula:
Average CER Score:CER score for entries within the last 30 days, limit of 10 entries = "Total number of clicks for this entry" x (1-("age of entry in seconds"/(30x24x60x60)));
|
| 2008 March 4th | - Edited the design for normal/new/updated entries, removed the background image to reduce client browser's rendering load. Normal entries are dark green, new entries are lighter green, updated entries are in red.
- After a few weeks, the changes to the indexing script seems to be stable, re-enabled the display of updated entries.

| 2007 October 31st | - Added bookmarking feature.
- Bookmarks and Subscribe links now run on AJAX. The page will not refresh when those links are clicked. Although entries still show when unbookmarked in the "My Bookmarks" page, refreshing the page will update the list. |
| 2007 October 25th | - To celebrate my purchase of my new phone, a Nokia E65, I made a mobile version of TTTO for reading on the move! The URL for this mobile version is http://vanadiel.wyred.nu/m.php

- A few minor cosmetic adjustments here and there. |

| 2007 June 25th | - Search function now searches entry titles too. And I've begun data collection for search string entered. This is to show the most search topic.
There is no IP tracking or whatsoever on the person doing the search. Which means you can search for tarutaru porn and no one will know it's you. D:
When there's enough data collected, I'll display the most common searched keywords. |
