Re: Starting a new Python blog

It is good to see some subscribers this early on. Thank you. I have
rolled out the updates for Tutorials and set the foundation for the
Review system by starting a list of packages I frequently use, and
hope to later review. I hope to have the full review system live by
the end of this week.

The tutorials will also use the package list I built to build a list
of dependencies required for the tutorial itself. I hope this makes
it much easier to follow tutorials by knowing which Python packages
will be required before hand. The package list has a summary of the
package and a link to the website where it is maintained. There are
currently 2 tutorials available for consumption. Both are videos I
made on YouTube for Rackspace Cloud last year, so if your curious
about how Rackspace cloud works, do check them out.

There is a separate RSS feed for the tutorials: http://www.pythondiary.com/tutorials.xml

I am planning on making a "Digest" RSS Feed which will contain the
latest posts from each section, but will also keep the separate feeds
there for subscribers who only want the blog, or just tutorials.

The site will remain ad-free for the time being, so that requests are
quick for end-users. I made use of the Django caching framework to
also increase the response time. I hope to keep the blog site quick
and clean.

Enjoy!
