Several Site Updates

July 07, 2006 —

So over the past week I've pushed out several updates to this site. First I went ahead and changed the design somewhat. I like it better now, it seems less dark than before. Also, I cleaned up the page generation on the backend by increasing the modularity of all the pages. The CSS also got cleaned up and I've been doing work on the php backend that I hope should make pages faster, not to mention easier to code with.

I also brought back comments but added a captcha to prevent the hordes of comment spam that I was getting before. Maybe we'll see a comment now and then. There's also a pager at the bottom so that past posts are viewable now, as well as permalinks to posts (where you can also post comments). All this also allowed me to get my RSS feed validated (structure wise at least, I still have to edit some posts to validate the feed).

All this is in preparation to rewrite my travel section so that it works with IE, which it probably doesn't do right now. I also need to work making the javascript run faster than slug. So that is what I've got planned in the works. We'll see if I get that done soon as life is starting to become more hectic as I come to the end at one company, and begin the transition to full time at another.
