Didn’t make it with Barren Harvest this weekend.  The young one screwed my schedule all up.  Didn’t do any major work on the website since the last demo posted, either.

The next website test I’ll do will probably be login.  Once I know that’s working, everything will be in place to do the settings checks for all pages, and I can jump into activating that.

The next step will probably be another mostly static page with a slightly different layout.  Having never worked in CSS before — other than minimal tweaks for the Invision Battle Mod — I need to figure that out.

Then, it will be coding an admin interface to add something to the site.  My guess is that it will be my story listings.  It will let me fill in the blanks to add new stories to the listings, create new categories on the pages, update old listings, and add things to the latest story rotator on the front page.

You’ll know that it’s live and working when the section on the demo pages that currently says “my writing” changes to “latest story”.  Once there are two latest stories, it will display a link to a page showing up to my last five releases in both pen names.

I did do some more outlining on SOTM this weekend.  That was at least workable around the young one.  He had the flu over the beginning of the week, and he was expending the energy that he didn’t get a chance to this weekend.

I’m concentrating on Barren Harvest right now, but I’ll probably do the rewrite of Lowborn 04 next week based upon first reader suggestions.  I could always use another first reader, if anybody out there wants a preview of upcoming stories.  No need for technical expertise — just gut reactions.  If you know the whole world of my fantasy stories — all the better!

So, that’s where I stand at the moment.  I’ll keep you updated…

And I think I can actually keep that promise now, with this easy solution available.
