14 Mar, 2006 6:16 am Reintroducing SD701 Open Directory [sdp=71472]  

Few years ago, SillyDog701's front page featured Open Directory portal. We took it down as we changed our design, and trying to focus our areas. After few years without the Open Directory portal, we are quite happy with it, however, we though it would be nice if I can bring back the Open Directory.

Reintroducing SD701 Open Directory.
Now, with new PHP script and thumbnail support, SD701 Open Directory is located at http://sillydog.org/dir/, and takes live data from Open Directory Project (ODP).

A screenshot of our old Open Directory portal:

The newer design looks nice. (I grabbed the old page screenshot from archive.org if anyone's interested.)

Thanks Don,

In fact, if you view the page with our beloved Safari, you will see Apple Human Interface Guidelines complied search box. (as mentioned in this post)

The script used to display SD701 Open Directory has been switched to FarODP, with our own customisation, of course.

Due to the size of SD701 Open Directory, it is now moved to http://dir.sillydog.org/
The old links will be redirected automatically.

Due to popularity of SD701 Open Directory, I've relocated the SD701 Open Directory to SillyDog701's secondary server. The URL stays the same ( http://dir.sillydog.org/ ).

This should help ease SillyDog701 main server's server load.
