After the ridiculous amount of traffic
the site
has received in the last 48 hours (just shy of 10,000 page views, 1,500 uniques), I spent last night working on some changes which I think improve the site somewhat and add features here and there.
Specifically:
Added some code that ensures the images are resaved at 800x480 if they're a funky size. This works most of the time, but I think there's something up with the thumbnails occasionally. Nothing major though.
Created and implemented a
tags system
. Now we can tag the wallpapers when they're uploaded. Even built in a little comma-separated autocomplete which works well.
Improved the back-end admin tools so I can actually manage the wallpaper details and tags after they've been submitted (previously I could only approve).
Panoramic images are all approved at once, so no more mass emailing per image (sorry).
Browse by tags now at
http://www.n900wallpapers.com/tags/
Redesigned the browse pages somewhat, and did some tweaks to the site CSS to make it a little more.. refined.
Modified the licensing information in the footer as per request.
Generic bug fixes like removing slashes from outputs and boring finicky stuff like that.
Still to do:
"This is awesome!/I like this!" rating system
RSS feeds
Auto-slicing of 3200x480 images (turns out to be harder than it sounds)
Anyway. I think the amount of traffic received is a testament to the overall interest in the n900. It's really great to see some of the wallpapers that have been uploaded too, really nice stuff. Looking forward to getting my n900 more and more every day
Interesting it hasn't been indexed by google yet, so all that traffic is referrals and direct hits. Go figure.
