To all the Free-Conversant and Conversant users out there: happy new year! 2006 was a great year for Conversant and for it's creators (Macrobyte Resources). We hope 2007 is an even better year, for everyone.

Long-time Conversant user Brian Carnell just posted some praise for Conversant on his web site. This time it was about performance (he's serving about 2.5 million pages per month).

Here's a list of all of his other Conversant-related posts.

Thanks, Brian!

Ruby Scripts for Conversant

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 01:37:33 GMT

Greg Pierce has produced a set of Ruby scripts for editing your Conversant site's templates, javascripts, and stylesheets *locally*. It downloads them all via xml-rpc. You edit them in your local editor, then run the upload script and it sends back whatever has been modified.

Very handy when you're doing a lot of work on a site... such as when you're perfecting the design for your next entry in the patterns contest!

Patterns Contest

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 20:42:40 GMT

Want a top-of-the-line iPod, some free music, or a year of Conversant hosting?

There's a new contest, going on through May 31st, where you can win those prizes! Design a great Conversant site, submit your pattern, and you could win one of the prizes.

Note: �patterns� are XML files that contain the templates, pages, stylesheets, and preferences to configure a Conversant site. All Conversant sites include easy-to-use tools for creating patterns and/or installing patterns in your site.

Slight Update

We've made some minor updates to this site's design, as a baby-step towards a much bigger update coming in the next couple of weeks.

If you see any bugs in the design (any serious layout problems in any browser) please let us know.

Thanks!
