Sometimes browsing the web brings something really revolutionary and amazing.

Everyone knows WordPress. Everyone knows how many themes it has.

Many developers know ExtJS, which is really good JavaScript framework for creating rich user interface. It provides various widgets, forms, calendars, panels, sliders, even windows.

Today I discovered a web site that uses ExtJS to create a WordPress theme. This is really amazing. ExtJS uses AJAX a lot and this blog too. All articles are loaded using AJAX and side bar uses Outlook-like sliding layout. Looks really unusual. Give it a try.

What do you think about this site and the idea? Will blogs become more dynamic in future? More web 2.0 like?

    Does not work with Opera 9.51. Personally I pretty much hate anything AJAX, since common navigation just does not work (mouse gestures in my case) anymore. Leads to complete reload and re-navigate quite often. There is VERY view applications, that make good use of AJAX. I know just one. What is an actual advantage of this blog - I can't see none. Bauble ;)

    -1 from me, because you can't use the back / forward buttons of your browser in this blog. Anyway, the menu feels comfortable.
    Thanks for the example.

    I think he just started using ExtJS. I use it too in non-TYPO3 project, with AJAX but navigation works there. There are methods to make correct back/forward moves with AJAX too.

    What fascinated me, is the approach. He is the first to do it. It cannot be perfect but it can be a start to new possibilities.

    "There are methods to make correct back/forward moves with AJAX too" - interesting, thanks.

    I found a second probably useful AJAX page today: endless page on http://www.soup.io/everyone

    BTW your blog is very very good!

    Ingo, check this link:
    http://dev.aol.com/ajax-handling-bookmarks-and-back-button
    It talks about back/forward handling for ajax. I used dhtmlHistory in one non-TYPO3 project and it works well.

    >BTW your blog is very very good!
    Thanks! :)
