Nov 18, 2003 :: Regarding CMS

A major reorganisation has been completed. The site has now gained new capabilities.

One, the site has migrated to a premium server at Linksky. Premium server has many added features, among them notably, the ability to run Java Servlets. Migration itself was not without its complexity or anxieties. But it was made possible at all by the steady hand-holding by Linksky support over nearly seven weeks. The reason for selecting Linksky as a low-priced, well supported host is only reinforced by this experience.

Two, the supplements now run on Version 2.3 of PMachine. This great content management system earlier lacked a crucial feature: search-engine friendly url generation. Major search engines ignored the material published in the Supplements because of the unwieldy urls that went with them. Ver.2.3 has a workaround now. It is heartening that the Google robot is already able to ‘see’ all the pages at GoodNewsIndia. Site traffic may therefore rise.

It is 40 months since GoodNewsIndia was born. It will clock a million page views later this month. With more features planned to run on upgraded facilities, the second million pages may be quicker in coming.
