Behind The Firm List Blog
RESRCful?
OK, so there's no new resources listed as yet, but I finally did what I've
planned to for so long - replace/upgrade resources.firmlist.com to
it's own site: www.resrc.com.
What's different besides the URL? Well, a new design as well... No, in all
seriousness, there are reasons I have done the upgrade:
1. Well, some of the creakiness of the overall page code (which I am working
on rebuilding) was cracking very obviously on the resource pages, so I needed
to do a rewrite and it was easier to start from scratch.
2. I feel that the resources were buried and overlooked on a site focused on
the firms. So I wanted the site to standalone so they can be focused on for
their own merit.
3. It'll be easier to expand the resources in a new site... even if I don't get
the rewrite of The Firm List launched anytime soon, that doesn't slow down my
ability to expand RESRC.
So, I look forward to doing a full review of existing resource listings (which
I'm doing with all firm listings at the moment too), to add/collect new
resources and to expand the types of resources, including perhaps things
like events/conferences.
Stay tuned!
PS: for those of you know/care about these things. It took about 10 hours from
the start of PHP/MySQL coding through to design, testing, etc. It's amazing
what can be done when you're not working around 10 years of codebase.
