GadgetSpy gets a makeover

By redlined on Sunday, December 11th, 2005 comments

GadgetSpy has had a much needed makeover and added some extra bits of user interface functionality, namely AJAX comments and search capabilities.

The GadgetSpy site utilises Wordpress for the content management, and is based around the K2 template.

In basic terms AJAX (wikipedia definition) allows you to interact with the website without waiting for the page to reload. For commenting you'll see your new comment magically appear above the comment box as it waits for moderation.

When using the search box, located in the upper right corner, matching articles will be displayed in a drop down list below the search box as you type in the letters. You can use the up and down keys on the keyboard to select an article, and hit Enter to read the selected post.
