Outside Context » Site http://www.outsidecontext.com Don't believe anything you read on the net! Except this.

Here is the proof:

*UPDATE*

I have been tweaking and playing around and now have handed it all over to Cesca, who will (I am sure) re do everything I have so far achieved!  lol!  Anyway, I hope you like the new theme and thing will be back to normal re the content as soon as we have finished the look.

I will be doing a post re the launch, which will replace this one, when the theme is live.

I also inserted some new plugins, so all in all there are the following changes,

  1. Pagination! Wa?  This is the ability to go backwards/forwards through the main blog (very handy)
  2. Share-this icon.  Like this entry?  Share it with Digg, etc and spread the word!
  3. New archives, yes I can flag good entries to be automatically added to the archives.
  4. A million and one other Tarski upgrades including a jump in performance.

All in all I am very happy with the site now and looking forwards to seeing what others think, let me know :)

Numly.com assigns Numly Numbers (Electronic Serial Numbers / ESNs) for all things digital. These unique identifiers provide digital rights management capabilities as well as third-party, non-repudiation measures for proof of copyright via real-time verifications. Numly Numbers are simple and quick to generate. They act as an electronic timestamp for copyright purposes. They can also be used to digitally certify email. They also allow you to track content viewership, monitor ratings, and can be used as permalinks.

Sounds good, so I have given it a little dance; lets see!

Looks like it is working:

The bane of all bloggers is comment spam.  Tons and tons of it infests the blogpshere.

SXIP have just stopped all that, using thier new tool SXORE.

sxore is an identity and reputation system for blog authors, readers and commenters. By acting as an intermediary between blog posts and comments, sxore provides a framework of identity for participants in the blog dialog. At its simplest, this framework stops comment spam by requiring commenters to prove that they’re not automated spam bots, and by providing moderation tools to blog authors. At a more sophisticated level, sxore enhances blog quality and enriches the blog dialog by applying the principals of Identity 2.0 and the technology of the sxip identity architecture (based on the SXIP Protocol) to provide authors and commenters with personas relevant to their blog interactions.

So I have signed the blog up and we shall see how it goes!
