Seasonal Page added.

Just added a new page to the website, allowing you to view all my stories by specific season.  It can be reached via the quick jump menu whenever you’re on the “My Work” page.

Just wasn’t any good way to add another drop-down menu to that page :p

Seasonal Stories

The available seasons/holidays will probably expand in the future.  Once I have two or more stories set on the right day, I’ll create a specific seasonal division for it.

Whenever you view the page now, it automatically displays the most relevant seasonal stories for whenever you open it.  So, right now it starts out showing Valentine’s stories.  Once February is over, it will start showing Earth Day stories.  So on and so forth.

Now I just need to update my backend utilities to easily edit the new seasonal bit.  *laugh*  Shouldn’t be too difficult, but I’m not going to mess with it at this exact moment.  Have some editing to do.

Had an idea

Think I’m going to code up a “Holiday” page that will display with a little widget on the front page around holidays ( and the associated contests on the sites where I post )

It will link all the holiday-themed stories for that season I’ve posted, giving you easy access to some holiday cheer 🙂

Probably won’t work on it today, but the idea hit me so hard that it will probably happen.  The widget will probably be directly below the link bar on the main page, and will only have a link to the holiday page + a little image that fits the season.

I’m planning for the Holiday page itself to be dynamic by adding an entry to my database for holiday themes.  That way, the page can automatically generate just by me flipping a switch on the backend of the site.  I’ll probably have the main image also be dynamic, changing according to the appropriate season.

Putting more work on the artist’s plate *laugh*  At least it can be a gradual thing over the course of the year 🙂

Back to working on Sanctuary.  That’s my priority right now, with such a long-standing tradition.
