Looks like everything is up and working properly again.\u00a0 Why it is:\u00a0 That’s the question.\u00a0 I didn’t do anything, and the problem had resolved itself before the webhost got around to the ticket.<\/p>\n
*shrug*\u00a0 I suppose it may be a result of screwed up queries when I was finishing the newsletter page.\u00a0 Perhaps when the backend of the site did some optimization tasks, it cleared up the gunk in the database.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I did a little optimization of my own.\u00a0 I started trimming down my style sheets based upon various types of pages.\u00a0 I removed all the elements for the front page and the My Work page from everywhere else, cutting the size down to about half.\u00a0 Trimming the front page stuff off My Work helped a little, and likewise trimming the My Work stuff off the front page helped it a little more.<\/p>\n
Found a few things that need correcting to get up to current web standards, as well.\u00a0 Fixed a couple of tags that weren’t properly closed under the existing standards, and made note of some other evaluations.\u00a0 Now that I have different style sheets for various pages, getting rid of a lot of waste, I’m going to eliminate some legacy coding and get that put into the style sheets as well.<\/p>\n
Pages that will be affected by this will be the Work Extras: Story Codes and Danica Timeline pages.\u00a0 Those are using tables, and giving them style divs should bring them up to standards.\u00a0 I hadn’t done it up to this point because of conflict issues with elements unused by those pages.\u00a0 I’ll use the basic file I have now ( which doesn’t include those conflicting elements ) and create a style sheet for those two pages to share.<\/p>\n
I’ve got a few other things I can do to speed up the page loads as well.\u00a0 This will be important when I finalize the front page, as I’ll be adding a new widget that queries the database there.\u00a0 Need to keep it at least where it is, or hopefully speed it up.\u00a0 Initial loads should already be less due to the smaller style sheet.<\/p>\n
Still need a beta tester(s) for the newsletter page, if anybody’s interested.<\/p>\n
I’m going to try to get some writing done on Lowborn after I take a little break.\u00a0 The environment at the moment isn’t the best, but I haven’t done much writing in a while, and it’s really bugging me.<\/p>\n
Edit ( a little later ):\u00a0 There we go \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Lowborn 07 is up to about the halfway mark.\u00a0 I’ve got a little bit of character development\/sex to write ( yes, that development slash<\/em> sex *laugh* ), then the setup for the final chapter.<\/p>\n Posted a teaser\u00a0excerpt of Ch. 01 on the forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looks like everything is up and working properly again.\u00a0 Why it is:\u00a0 That’s the question.\u00a0 I didn’t do anything, and the problem had resolved itself before the webhost got around to the ticket. *shrug*\u00a0 I suppose it may be a result of screwed up queries when I was finishing the newsletter page.\u00a0 Perhaps when the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1668"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1670,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668\/revisions\/1670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
