Welcome to the New ParliDebate.com
Posted on July 15, 2007
The site has undergone a major overhaul, but it's nowhere near completed. Unforseen inputs will break scripts, untested browsers will stumble across design quirks and hastily copied round information will be inaccurate or incomplete. If you find an error or have missing information please let me know. I'd like to improve the site as much as possible, but Gloria and I won't be able to do it alone.
Minor Improvements
There are some minor changes to the site worth a brief mention. The old design broke as soon as text was resized, but the new one expands to accomodate larger text. The old design also used multiple table entries for the same round. E.g., Video 1/2, 2/2 and the audio from nats finals 2007 all had their own place on the Nationals' tournament table. (A table whose font was way too small). Now everything is grouped together for easy access.
Advanced Search
The previous search solution - a google search of site:parlidebate.com - left much to be desired. On the right side of the page underneath the Google-powered "Basic Search" box, you should find a much better way to find rounds on the site.
Feeds that Work
We tried feeds earlier - it sucked. Our hosting company offers this "type stuff here and make a feed" option, and neither of us felt like re-entering data just so the feeds' three subscribers found new rounds 5-10 minutes earlier than they would have otherwise. But now everything is database driven, and the *5* different feeds will be updated automatically. Which reminds me...
Everything is Database Driven
Rounds can now be entered with about a minute of effort. And with the custom-built content management system, non-techy people can do entering and editing using only a browser. This is the bigest structural change to the site, and since it will make it easier to maintain in the future, I think it's the most important.
New Content
There are tons of new recordings spread across the non-APDA sections of the site. Alex Amar contributed CUSID rounds, Alex Blenkinsopp sent in BP DVDs and Jason Steck and Danny Cantrell offered up their NPDA recordings. And while APDA might have to wait a little while for new debate rounds, hopefully the new APDA sections of the site will point people towards information they wouldn't have found otherwise. Speaking of new sections, I'll develop a dino directory if enough people express interest. The same is true for any other features you can think up, so start suggesting.
I think that's pretty much everything. I hope you like the new functionality, but would love to hear from you if you don't.
All the best, Matt
