danish design review and copenhagen design news reorganised

Posts from danish design review with copenhagen design news, and posts from copenhagen by design have been moved into a single web site with new and more extensive categories.

With posts from two blogs and with ten years of posts this has been a time-consuming job, with a lot of copying and pasting and with some editing, but, when it’s finished, and with a rationalisation of tags, indexing and searching for earlier posts should be quicker and easier.

There are now six primary headings - think drawers in a filing cabinet -  with posts under design, furniture, kunsthåndværk, architecture and townscape and with a new section Building Copenhagen ... for posts on the history of Copenhagen and posts on historic buildings in the city that were, until now, posted to the independent site copenhagen by design.

 

Under each primary heading, there are secondary categories that are identified by colour - so they are folders in each drawer of that filing cabinet.

copenhagen design news is the entry point to the site and all new material will appear there first before being filed under the relevant category.

danish design review will be, as originally intended, a place for longer articles about wider issues with a format more like a journal or magazine.

Tags and links - the links both within the site and to external web sites - are being checked and updated. After ten years, web sites and physical stores and studios have moved or have folded.

Links on the left, at the bottom of a post, are to other posts within this web site and links at the bottom of a post to the right are to external sites.

Readers clicking on tags at the bottom of a post can see other posts so, for instance, other posts on the blog about other work by a designer.

Full versions of book reviews and exhibition reviews are in their own categories and have their own indexes.

I just hope that this is not all too complicated for it's own good.

 

Here are all the categories for danish design review:
