New Daily Mirror Site
The new Daily Mirror site is great, I like it a bit better than the old. I just get the strangest error when I visit it on my phone. It says “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” I don’t know if it’s a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001 or what but it’s weird. But then it lets me view the site anyways. I thought my phone had been hacked for a while. The Daily Mirror is still innovating (in Sri Lankan terms) online, so good luck to them.
It doesn’t have category RSS feeds, which is annoying. but overall much better.
I dunno what it’s running on, it’s not WordPress. It seems like custom PHP
Has it not aped the NY Times style.
Is that why we find it so familiar ?

Extreamly slow from this part of the world.
It takes more than a minute to download.
Well, DM was always slow and there’s still the WWW root directory issue. But are you sure this is a new design ? Look at the footer – copyright 2004.
However, it is running on Joomla.
try http://mobile.dailymirror.lk
works fine on my phone, via Opera Mini 5
what browser are you using, and what’s the phone?
Its definitely running on joomla.. a little control + U goodness from firefox and code analysis confirms that :)
interesting. They tried WordPress a while back but I think caching problems crashed their server. Perhaps Joomla is better out of the box
I think it is more due to expanded CMS functions in Joomla. But still that copyright tag makes me think it is an older version.
