Footloose and fancy free! Pardon my Muppets.
Even though nobody can see this at the moment, I finished adding the first two pages of update archives to this blog. No more editing three pages when I want to shunt something off the main news page! WooT!
I’ll soon be hosting RejectReality, in exchange for the artwork that’s going onto the site to replace all the pics of my Babydoll.
Damn, but it’s hard to remember not to frikkin’ double space when writing in this blog. I guess that if that’s the only pain in the ass, I’m doing pretty good.
Now that I feel like I’ve accomplished something, I just might be able to write again. The sudden decision to take the pages down has been a bit nerve-wracking ( even though it’s been in the works for a while, and in my head for far longer than that )
Once I have a few critical pages finished (Author, Story Links, LST3K Info Site, Etc.) I’ll actually restore the site to functionality. Once I have the archives of my news inserted into this blog, it will go live. Not sure how anyone subscribing and setting the feeds would receive the old posts going in, so I don’t want to cause confusion with that.
I’m going to look into some other PHP solutions for updating certain pages such as Character Listings, Story Links, etc. If I can find something close, I can use the experience from coding the Battle Mod for IPboards to modify it to suit my needs.
Yes, if you’ve seen my name on the Battle Mod pages of Invision boards, same critter here. Kinda nice to see my name up in lights in so many places on the Internet. Fear the DarkniciadBot!
If I can get a PHP solution going for that, it will increase the website updates dramatically without costing me writing/me time.
Enough babbling for now. I have some emails to answer, and then it’s off to bed with me.
What kind of PHP solution for your listings are you looking for?
Mostly, I find that just writing one from scratch does a better job than having to cope with difficulties in adopting existing solutions – leaving the weirdness of the source code entirely out of the equation…
I’m actually digging back into forms and looking to do it myself now. It’s just been years since I coded anything, and I’ve forgotten a lot *laugh*
It will probably be ugly a sin, but it will get the job done in the end.
I knew someone would stumble across this when I added the widget to the preview page *laugh* I’m still adding the “old news” from my pages to this blog, so I don’t know how any subscriptions will react to that. If it starts spamming you while I add the old messages, just shut off the subscriptions until I finish adding them.
