Just a collection of resources and thoughts
All the code is hosted here on github at https://github.com/aleitner/OldEnglish The website URL is http://englisc.info/
I'm very cheap so I am using github's hosting service to put the code onto the web for free.
I also decided to use their issue system as a backend for the blogs.
Blog front end: http://englisc.info/news.html
Blog back end: https://github.com/aleitner/OldEnglish/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Anews
Essentially any issue created by us with the news tag will move to the /news.html
page for the frontend.
This is however limited to 60 views per hour per user since I am cheap and not spending any money.
To post an issue just go to the backend and create a new issue with the news
label.
