Just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to write today.  So, I decided to be productive and work on the website.

I’ve decided that I’m going to open up the “About” section without the new pics of me, and with only some of the scans of old stuff I’m planning to put up there.  I can always add all that stuff to the pages as it’s completed and announce it on the Web Updates section.

With that in mind, I completed the text and links to images I have scanned.  I also uploaded the last of my ancient porn stories.  All that’s really left to do now is go through and check everything.  I may decide to experiment with the font size on the ancient stories, though.  If I find something I like in a larger font, I’ll likely add it to the Cut Scenes and Unpublished Stories section of “My Work Extras” as well.

I’m very likely to add a sort of directory page to “Ancient Stories” and “Cut Scenes” for the same reason I added “Show All” to the “My Work” page – allowing search engines to reach all that content that’s behind code they don’t usually try to activate.

Odds are that it will go live either Monday or Tuesday, unless I get a solid writing spark going, or work is a nightmare.

After that, I think I’m going to tackle the LST3K section.  There are some things I’m going to use in there for donations that could be useful for the “My Worlds” section.

At this point, I’m not even sure if the “More” link will remain.  Most of what I was thinking about putting on that section is now sliding nicely into other sections of the site.  I’ll probably just end up removing it, leaving me an opening for another main menu selection at some time in the future.

Things are rolling right along.  With any luck, I’ll have the website content completely restored soon, with easy to use utilities to add more content whenever someone requests it or the whim strikes me.

Didn’t feel like editing the previous post, and the one before that was really the previous day.  It was just after midnight.  The next day doesn’t start until I go to bed and get back up again.

Anyway, I’m working on the “About” pages.  I started some of the text on the blank pages, added some pics to the inspiration page to test the code and layout, and added in four more “ancient” stories to the Writing Genesis section.  There are still ten of those left to add, although one of them is a pretty short opening that never went anywhere.

Eventually, I’ll get to a point where I’ll need to wade into the labyrinth of the back bedroom to dig up my old D&D stuff that’s boxed up back there to scan, or take new pics, which also involves getting backdrops from the back bedroom.  Odds are that is when I’ll start coding on the LST3K stuff until the weather improves.  It’s cold as hell in the back bedroom.

By the time I’m done with “About” and the static parts of “LST3K”, I’ll have all the things I need to start coding the “My Worlds” page on the quick.  I’ll have already figured out everything I need to know, so I won’t have to experiment with new stuff, but rather just build the utilities from functioning examples, build the pages from existing layouts, and slap in data.

That’s when the content on the website will take a major jump.  Any time I have a few spare minutes, I can add four or five new characters, or a map, or a document… whatever.  Odds are that once those sections launch, there will be new stuff each and every day appearing on the website.

Okay, off to read through the ARS chain so I can get it sent to Red, and then to Roust.  After that, I’m going to get back to writing on something.  Just haven’t decided which story yet.

I just restored one of the sections of the website that’s been down for a while, in a new and improved form!

You can check out the unpublished stories and cut scenes from published stories Right Here on the “My Work Extras” page.

I’ll restore the rest of the cut scenes that used to be there, as well as probably add some more I have sitting around in time.  With a new, easy to use interface, I can update this section whenever I wish with point and click ease.

That’s the goal for the whole website – making it easy to add any content that I want to or readers request with a few keystrokes and clicks.  Once all the sections are rolled out, it will be a breeze to update the site whenever I want 🙂

Now, back to writing after I make some Hamburger Helper for me and the young one.
