Comments on: Episode #48 http://www.podcast17.com/episodes/48/ A weekly verbal tour of the Half-Life community. Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:32:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: PlanetPhillip http://www.podcast17.com/episodes/48/#comment-5108 PlanetPhillip Sat, 19 Sep 2009 05:50:05 +0000 http://podcast17.com/?p=1037#comment-5108 The idea is for all podcasts related to gaming, not just HL or even Valve, but everything. Chances are that if you are interested in HL you probably have an interest in general gaming too. ANyway, I really don't have the time for this and wish I would stop suggesting these things when I clearly can't do them. Hopefully somebody else would take the idea and do it.

When you say "on this site" does that mean you listen to other gaming podcasts? If so, which ones would you recommend? MAybe we should start a collection of podcasts. In fact, maybe in the same style as VC. What do readers think. It's pretty easy to set up and with some help could be up and ruinning in a week or so. Any volunteers? We are glad you liked it.

Using a wiki based system has its advantages over a blog based system, and that list is one of them. Original LEvelpedia, the forrunner to PP, was built using a wiki but it just didn't feel right. Thanks for the link but I already checekd that one out. The problem is that it would create links to the pages on VC, rather than direct links to the sites themselves. I considered having it that way but it seem as though I would be making readers jump through hoops just to get to the sites, which is ultimately what they want. Unfortuinately I don't have the links stored as bookmarks because I never really got into that. Yes, that list is useful, but remembver it was NightHawk’s idea.

Luckily for me, MediaWiki makes that type of thing for me on my website as shown here: http://halflifelibrary.com/wiki/Special:AllPages For the delicious thing, this is probably what you are looking for: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bookmark-export/installation/ I think that’s a great idea Phillip and great way to show a simple list for people that like that sort of thing (it is useful for me) and then showcase them on the front page for people that like to see the website like that (blog-esque).

Here it is: http://www.valvecommunity.net/complete-alphabetical-list I can't get rid of that gap at the top but it seems to do what it's supposed to do. Now, if only I could get Delicious to import from an XML file I *might* be able to hack something together to save importing manually. One cool feature about Delicious is that it can automatically Tweet every update, which will save me some time. Thanks for suggesting this, it make a valuable feature to the site. Just got to work out how best to display it. Well, who would ahve thunk it!

Delicious lets you sort by different criteria and view a lot of links at a time, which are the main things needed. I'd only worry about it if you have the time, as I realize your existing content would take a while to plug into that system. I need to play with WordPress more... I routinely work with a different CMS, and it would be good to expand my knowledge of this one's abilities/limitations.
