Early today, BlogHer.org went live beta.
BlogHer is a community site built to serve both as an online resource for the BlogHer Conference 2006 and as a directory to answer the ever-persistent question asked by A-list bloggers, "Where are all the women bloggers?" (Where? BlogHer.org is where!)
This one was a lot of fun to do. The women involved in this community are just amazing and awe inspiring. (A big part of the site is the collective blogging about what women are blogging about all over the world, on all sorts of topics.) I hope some of you will want to check it out.
It would have been wonderful to implement this site in Drupal 4.7, but our timetable was too pressing and our contributed modular needs were too demanding. So the site is built on Drupal 4.6, with several contributed modules, a few module hacks and a handful of php scripts. The theme runs on phpTemplate.
The site is still in beta. There are some odds and ends of code to add, some theme tweaks and so on. And as a community site, it will evolve as certain features prove to be popular while others are asked for. If you find any bugs in theme or function, please let me know (via the "website feedback" form there, or my profile contact here). Your comments are welcome (as long as you're not too brutal).
