It's finally here! If you tried visiting my site at all between 9:00pm December 27th and 1:00 pm December 28th, I apologize. There were quite a few unexpected hurdles to cross when converting the website. I had to have the 3 main components (photo gallery, forum, database) completely up and running before I could even get the splash page to display that the site was undergoing it's conversion. Oh yea, I also slept in that time frame. Stupid to do while the website isn't working, I know, but it's not like it was a website for a company or huge corporation so it doesn't matter. As I have previously stated numerous times, nobody really comes to this website. The guestbook is a barren desert of posts with only 8 entries during the entire 2006 year. It's pathetic that I put this much work into something that I can't honestly say gets looked at. Like what I'm trying right now. I am willing to bet that nobody will read this. If you do, let me know. Post something in the forum about how much you like (or dislike) my site, drop a line in the guestbook, anything. I am doing this website for the experience and knowledge but it would be cool to know that some people actually look at it...
With that out of the way, here are a couple notes about the new site:
- Pages take longer to load, be patient. See all the blue and gray bars? They take some time to load so just give a second and you'll be fine.
- When you log in or log out, give the process time to do it's thing. If you just submit your login info then click another page, it won't process properly and you won't be logged in/out.
- There were lots of changes and something might have been missed. Bear with me as I try to find every little page and every little section that needs to be fixed. If you notice anything post them in the Forum under the "Report a Bug" section. Of course you will need an account, but you should get one anyways so you can upload pictures, add links, and post in the forum.
With all of that being said and you probably not still reading this, I hope you enjoy the new website and I hope you will come back often to see what changes have been made and what movie reviews/celebrity quotes/links/photos have been added. Have a great day.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million, billion times. Firefox is great. Whenever I do any work on this website I view the results in Firefox (my developing browser) and Internet Explorer (the browser most of my visitors, you, use). This is to ensure that whever browser you are using, you can see my site as I intend it to be seen. However, I still would like to point out to advantages of Firefox over IE: virus, spyware, and popup ad blocking, fast browsing, tabbed browsing, built-in customizable search bar, encrypted password storage, and much more. This list only highlights a few of the advantages offered by Firefox whereas a more complete list can be found at the Firefox website. Another great advantage is the masive list of extensions you can add. There are extensions to open a particular page in an IE tab or to block scripts for extra security and protection. There is even an extension that allows you to synchronize your bookmarks. All I want to suggest is that you give it a fair chance. Don't install it, open a webpage, and say "I don't like this or that." Use it for a day or two and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
