Flatpress at the Old TipzNTrix

Remember the old TipzNTrix? When my account in a free mysql database hosting got wiped away because of technical problems, I tried to make it run on a flatfile content blogging application called Pilot. I intended it to be a reference website for desktop applications and for HTML demonstration pages. But it didn’t turn out well. Lately, I discovered the FlatPress blog application which looks like WordPress on the externals but looks differently from the administration area.

Like Wordpress, it installs very easily and with the proper directory chmoded to world-writable, one can be blogging in no time. Unlike Wordpress, however, it doesn’t have a big and active theme developers’ community. The same goes with its plugins. Despite these limitations however, I think that FlatPress is going to have a future. There are a lot of free PHP hosts, but not many that offer MySQL too. So blog applications like FlatPress will always have its market.

FreeMySql turned out to be a bad idea after all. I put up the content management system of TipzNTrix thinking that the MySQL databases that FreeMySQL provides will hold for some time before I could transfer my data to a more secure host. Thing is, FreeMySQL underwent an upgrade in its facilities and in the process I lost my database. As a result, the articles at TipzNTrix has begun to point to a WordPress Error page about a database that cannot be selected (because suddenly non-existent). This happened in November last year and I thought that after informing the Administrator of FreeMySQL is about it would be enough. So I waited for them to work on the problem. But three months have passed and still the Error page keeps appearing. So I have taken the matter into my own hands. Fortunate for me, 110MB upgraded my account and given me extra databases and webspace. So I have transferred the articles’ section of TipzNTrix to a section within the Collectanea. There you will find the articles that were formerly posted at the TipzNTrix blog. Later, I will redo the old TipzNTrix so that it will no longer point to error pages.
