Yay! I’ll soon be done with this quarter. However, until that next 2.5 weeks is over, I needed a quick break. So, to get my mind off of finals for a little bit, I dived into some programming on the site. (Yeah, I program to appease depression – weird, huh?)

  1. I got rid of the font sizing
  2. Categories show up now
  3. Backend updates

Buh bye fonts!

Turns out that the font sizing script was way more hassle than it was worth. It was invalidating my site (bad!), it was causing 5 more page load requests, finally it was much easier to fix the problem simply by changing the font size of the site.

Problem Solved.

Categories

You will now, at the end of the posts, begin to see the categories I have filed them under.

My site’s software has long supported categories (including multiple categories per post), but I have never shown it off – mostly using them for myself and for the future. Soon enough though, you will be able to browse the site via categories, but I have a bit more database/setup work to do before that’s ready.

Backend Updates

The site now uses some nice routines for formatting posts and comments. nothing near the likes of textpattern or anything like that, but it will now create syntactically correct code from not only my posts, but for comments as well. You can still use regular HTML, but it will auto format with p tags automatically. So nifty.

Final projects

I’ll have some really nice final projects in real short order here. About three new things to post and brag about :D
